Who can solve? 9y < - 3

y< - 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the inequality, we must get the variable, y, by itself.

9y< - 3

Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation, to both sides.

y is being multiplied by 9. The opposite of multiplication is division. Therefore, divide both sides by 9.

9y/9 < - 3/9

y< - 3/9

-3/9 can be reduced. 3 can be divided evenly into both the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number).

y< (-3/3) / (9/3)

y< - 1/3
