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.

-3y + 5 > \( \frac{y}{-6} \)
-6 x (-3y + 5) > y
(-6 x -3y) + (-6 x 5) > y
18y - 30 > y
18y - 30 - y > 0
18y - y > 30
17y > 30
y > \( \frac{30}{17} \)
y > 1\(\frac{13}{17}\)

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

2a + 2a = 4a

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.

-5y + 7 < 6 - 2y
-5y < 6 - 2y - 7
-5y + 2y < 6 - 7
-3y < -1
y < \( \frac{-1}{-3} \)
y < \(\frac{1}{3}\)

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:

a = πr²
a = π(4²)
a = 16π
