Math Problem Statement

-x+y< -3

Solution

The inequality you have is:

x+y<3-x + y < -3

Let's solve this inequality for yy in terms of xx:

Step 1: Isolate yy

First, we need to move the x-x to the other side of the inequality.

y<x3y < x - 3

Final Answer:

So, the inequality becomes:

y<x3y < x - 3

This tells us that for any value of xx, yy must be less than x3x - 3.


Do you need further explanation on how to graph this inequality, or any other clarification? Here are some related questions:

  1. How do you graph the inequality y<x3y < x - 3?
  2. What happens if the inequality was yx3y \leq x - 3?
  3. How do you solve an inequality with multiple variables, such as 2x3y>42x - 3y > 4?
  4. Can inequalities have no solution? What would that look like?
  5. What is the difference between strict inequalities (like <<) and non-strict inequalities (like \leq)?

Tip: Remember, when graphing inequalities like y<x3y < x - 3, use a dashed line for the boundary y=x3y = x - 3 since the inequality is strict (<<) and doesn't include the line itself.
