Tell whether the value is a solution of the inequality.

17 > 2y; y=7

You start off with substituting the y with 7 to check you solution.

explanation:

- 17>2 (7)

- 17>14

17 is more than 14. and so it is a solution because its correct.

Answer: yes

Step-by-step explanation: To determine whether y = 7 is a solution to the inequality, substitute a 7 in for y.

So we have 17 > 2 (7).

2 (7) is 14.

So we have 17 > 14.

Since this is a true statement, then our answer is yes.

7 is a solution to the inequality
