5x – y ≤ 1 x + 3y ≤ –2

Answer 1

Hi Katharine,

I think you mislabeled this as Spanish, but it is math. But I will still help you.

Firstly, you need to move all the Xs together and all the Ys together:

1) 5x - 1x - y < 3y < -2 then move the Y

2) 5x - 1x < 3y + y < -2 then solve

3) 4x < 4y < -2 then simplify by dividing by 2

4) 2x < 2y < -1

Both X and Y are likely negative (-) numbers because they are both less than or equal to -1.

Hope this helps!
