Question
What is the answer to 11y plus 13 >greater than or equal to negative 1?         (It is inequalities)


Answer
Hi Kayce,

Solve this problem just as if the greater than sign was an equals sign except that you must change the sign if you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number.

11y + 13 >= -1

subtract 13 from both sides

11y >= -14
divide both sides by 11

y >= -14/11

Let me know if you have any questions.
