Answer:
Inequality: [tex]\frac{y}{2}>22[/tex]
Solution: [tex]y>44[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are supposed to write and solve an inequality for the given verbal description.
One half of a number y would be y divided by 2: [tex]\frac{y}{2}[/tex].
Since one half of a number y is more than 22, so we can set an inequality as:
[tex]\frac{y}{2}>22[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 2:
[tex]\frac{y}{2}*2>22*2[/tex]
[tex]y>44[/tex]
Therefore, the solution to our given inequality is any value of y greater than 44.
