Math Problem Statement
-2x + 3y greater or equal to 10
Solution
The given inequality is:
To solve this inequality or express it in a more useful form, you can isolate . Let's go through the steps:
-
Add to both sides to move the term:
-
Divide both sides by 3 to solve for :
This is the solution in terms of . The inequality tells you that for any value of , must be greater than or equal to .
If you wish to graph this inequality, the boundary line is the equation , and you would shade the region above this line since .
Would you like to explore the graph of this inequality or need further explanation on any step?
