To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

7y + 6 < -5 - 9y
7y < -5 - 9y - 6
7y + 9y < -5 - 6
16y < -11
y < \( \frac{-11}{16} \)
y < -\(\frac{11}{16}\)

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y + 7)(y + 7)
(y x y) + (y x 7) + (7 x y) + (7 x 7)
y² + 7y + 7y + 49
y² + 14y + 49

The formula for area is πr². Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{4}{2} \)
r = 2
a = πr²
a = π(2²)
a = 4π
