To solve this problem
you want to do the following:
4y + 7 > 15
4y + 7 - 7 > 15 - 7 (In
order to get y by itself, you will
want to add the opposite of + 7 which
is to subtract 7 or adding a negative
7. Once again, you need to make sure
that if you do something to one side
of the equation you must do the same
thing to the other side.)
4y + 0 > 8 (Simplify.)
4y > 8 (Simplify.)
4y/4 > 8/4 (To get
y by itself you need to multiply 4
by its reciprocal or divide by the
same number. Again, since you are dividing
by 4 on one side you need to divide
by 4 on the other side.)
y > 2
Now that you have the answer to the
problem, your answer is letter D. |
