Question

Solve. 4y + 16 > –8
a. y > –6
b. y > –2
c. y > 2
d. y > 6 PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

A.
You move the 16 to the other side, so you get 4y>-8-16, simplify to get 4y>-24 and divide both sides by 4 to get y>-6

Answer 2

4y+ 16 > -8
⇒ 4y > -8 -16
⇒ 4y > -24
⇒ y > -24/4
⇒ y > -6

Final answer: a. y > -6~
