Studdy Solution

STEP 1

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

STEP 2

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

STEP 3

Now, we multiply all parts of the inequality by to get rid of the fraction in the middle.
2×<(y+3)<3.125×2 \times < (y+3) <3.125 \times

STEP 4

Calculate the products on the left and right side of the inequality.
8<y+3<12.8 < y+3 <12.

STEP 5

Next, we subtract3 from all parts of the inequality to isolate yy.
83<y<12.538 -3 < y <12.5 -3

STEP 6

Calculate the differences on the left and right side of the inequality.
5<y<9.55 < y <9.5This is the solution for yy in inequality form.

STEP 7

Finally, we express the solution in interval notation.
The solution in interval notation is (5,9.5)(5,9.5).
