Math Problem Statement
Select the choice that represents the two-variable inequality after it has been solved for y in terms of x. -6y < -3(y - 2x)
Solution
Let's solve the inequality step by step. We need to solve for in terms of .
The inequality is:
Step 1: Distribute the on the right side of the inequality.
Step 2: Move all terms involving to the left side of the inequality. Add to both sides:
Step 3: Solve for by dividing both sides by . Since we are dividing by a negative number, the direction of the inequality flips:
Thus, the inequality in terms of is:
