Answer:All these are equivalent, valid answers:
y < -12
all real numbers less than - 12:
( - ∞ , - 12)
{ y ∈ R | y < - 12}
Explanation:
1) Starting pointL inequality (1/2)y + 6 < 0
2) subtract 6 from both sides:
(1/2)y + 6 - 6 < 0 - 6
(1/2) y < - 6
3) multiply both sides by 2:
(2)(1/2)y < - (2) (6)
y < -12
4) That is all real numbers less than - 12:
Equivalent to ( - ∞ , - 12) or { y ∈ R | y < - 12}
