Write the word sentence as an inequality. One plus a number y is no more than -13 . An inequality that represents this word sentence is

Question

Plzz Help me, I am stuck in this question, I just have to figutre out what the word sentence would look like in a number sentence. I need help please. Please help me!!!

Answer 1

1 + y < -13

or

1+y = -13 or 1+y < -13

that equality and inequality, the = and the < signs are put together as < to get

1+ y < -13

solve by subtracting 1 from both sides

1+y-1 < -13-1

y < -14

"one plus a number y is no more than -13"

is the same as saying

"one plus a number y is less than or equal to -13"

or

"one plus a number y is not greater than -13"

it can also be mathematically be described by saying y is an element of the interval (-infinity, -14]

the bracket ] means the interval includes the right

end point, -14. the parenthesis ( means it does not include the left endpoint.

"is an element of" has a math symbol which is a "c" with a horizontal line in the middle of the "c," looks sort of like an "e" but without the right end of the horizontal part touching the top curve, sort of like: y e (-infinity, -14]

The infinity also has a math symbol that looks like an 8, but on its side.

it could also be described as "one plus a number y is not greater than -13"

1+y "is not greater than" -13 The "is not greater than" has a symbol > with a slash through it, /.

But best answer though is: 1+y < -13
