A classmate solved the inequality 1/2 =(y-16)>y+2 as shown. Prove that his answer is incorrectly by checking a number that is less than -20. ( Select a number that makes the computation easy.) What was his error?

Respuesta :

It should be noted the answer is incorrect for the inequality by checking a number that is less than -20.

How to compute the value?

Based on the information, we can use -18 to illustrate the information.

This will be:

-10 >= 1/2y - 20 <= y

-10 >= 1/2(-18) - 20 <= -18

-10 >= -9 - 20 <= -18

-10 >= -29 <= -18

Based on the above, it should be noted the error was that the student should have used a number less than 20 as illustrated.
