One plus a number y is no more than -13

Question

One plus a number y is no more than -13

Answer 1

You can represent this expression with an inequality.

"Is no more than" would indicate less than or equal to <

The inequality would be:

1 + y < -13

You can solve this inequality by subtracting one from both sides if the inequality:

1 + y -1 < -13 -1

Final Solution:

y < -14

This solution can be interpreted as: Any number less than or equal to -14 is a valid solution to this inequality.
