Math Problem Statement
3−|y/2+3|>7
Solution
Let's solve the inequality .
Step 1: Isolate the absolute value
First, subtract 3 from both sides:
This simplifies to:
Step 2: Eliminate the negative sign
Dividing both sides by (and flipping the inequality sign):
Step 3: Interpret the result
Since the absolute value of any expression is always non-negative, it can never be less than a negative number. Therefore, there are no solutions to this inequality.
Conclusion:
The inequality has no solution.
