4. Solving Multi-Step Inequalities
Sign In
Isolate y by first utilizing the Distributive Property.
y≥2
We can solve inequalities in almost the same way as equations. The only difference is that we need to remember to flip the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative value. For this exercise, distribute 4 on the right-hand side and simplify the terms to isolate y.
Distribute 4
Subtract term
LHS+48≤RHS+48
.LHS /22.≤.RHS /22.
Rearrange inequality
The solution to the inequality is y≥2.
