Solve the inequality 1/2y>5

y > 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2y>5

Multiply each side by 2

2* 1/2y>5*2

y > 10

y > 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Inequality:

1/2y>5

We need to isolate the variable y.

Since it is being multiplied by 1/2, we need to multiply by the reciprocal, or opposite, on both sides. The reciprocal of 1/2 is 2. (Check by multiplying both numbers and making sure the product is 1.)

Multiply:

1/2y>5

x2     x2

y > 10

Therefore, the simplified inequality is y > 10.
