The value of y for which 1/5y + 1/5 < 1/2y + 2/5 is

A.

y > 2/3

B.

y < 2/3

C.

y > −2/3

D.

y < −2/3

Correct Answer: y > −2/3

Explanation

1/5y + 1/5 < 1/2y + 2/5 Collect like terms y/5 − y/2 < 2/5 − 1/5 2y−5y/10 < 2−1/5 −3y/10 < 1/5 y > −2/3

1/5y + 1/5 < 1/2y + 2/5 Collect like terms y/5 − y/2 < 2/5 − 1/5 2y−5y/10 < 2−1/5 −3y/10 < 1/5 y > −2/3
