QuestionSolve the compound inequality 168<y+34<258\frac{16}{8}<\frac{y+3}{4}<\frac{25}{8} and express the solution in interval notation.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The inequality is given as 168<y+34<258\frac{16}{8}<\frac{y+3}{4}<\frac{25}{8}. . We need to solve for y.
3. The solution should be expressed in interval notation.

STEP 2

First, simplify the fractions on the left and right side of the inequality.
2<y+4<.1252<\frac{y+}{4}<.125

STEP 3

To solve for y, we need to get rid of the fraction by multiplying all parts of the inequality by.
2times<(y+3)times<3.125times2 \\times < \left(\frac{y+3}{}\right) \\times <3.125 \\times

STEP 4

Perform the multiplication.
8<y+3<12.8 < y+3 <12.

STEP 5

Now, to isolate y, we need to subtract3 from all parts of the inequality.
83<y+33<12.538 -3 < y+3 -3 <12.5 -3

STEP 6

Perform the subtraction.
5<y<9.55 < y <9.5

STEP 7

The solution to the inequality is 5<y<9.55 < y <9.5. In interval notation, this is expressed as (5,9.5)(5,9.5), where the parentheses indicate that the endpoints are not included in the solution.
So, the solution to the inequality is (5,9.5)(5,9.5).
