Question

Translate and solve: 64 less than y is no less than −128.

Answer 1

Answer:

y - 64 ≥ -128

y ≥ -64

Step-by-step explanation:

Translation:

y - 64 ≥ -128

Solving:

y - 64 + 64 ≥ -128 + 64

y ≥ -64

Answer 2

For this case we must write the following expression algebraically:

"64 less than" y "is no less than −128"

So:

64 less than y is represented as: y-64

no less than −128 means that the expression y-64 must be greater than or equal to -128.

Then, rewriting the expression we have:

$y-64 \geq-128$

We solve:

$y \geq-128 + 64\\y \geq-64$

ANswer:

$y\geq-64$
