Hey!
Okay, to solve this problem, we'd first have to multiply both sides by two. The reason we do this is to get [tex]y[/tex] on its own.
Original Equation :
[tex] \frac{y}{2} [/tex] < [tex]-3[/tex]
New Equation {Changed by Multiplying 2 on Both Sides} :
[tex] \frac{2y}{2} [/tex] < [tex]2 [/tex] ( [tex]-3[/tex] )
And we simplify the equation to get our answer.
Old Equation :
[tex] \frac{2y}{2} [/tex] < [tex]2[/tex] ( [tex]-3[/tex] )
New Equation {Changed by Simplification} :
y < -6
So, the equation [tex] \frac{y}{2} [/tex] < -3 simplified is y < -6.
Hope this helps!
