Can one of the inequalities be written as the other?
Answer: Yes. Explanation: When the variable is isolated, the inequalities are the same.
Practice makes perfect
Let's begin by stating the inequalities.
lc36 ≤ -4 +y & (I) 40 ≤ y & (II)
If two inequalities are equivalent, it is possible to write one of them as the other. To determine if the given inequalities are equivalent, we will attempt to write Inequality (I) as Inequality (II).
When the variable in Inequality (I) is isolated on the right-hand side, we see that Inequalities (I) and (II) are the same. Therefore, they are equivalent.
