During Year 4, bad weather keeps Roger from finding the exact number of
bears in the park. However, he knows that y+5>38, where y is the number
of bears in the park during Year 4. Solve the inequality, knowing that the three possible values of Y are 33, 34, and 35
To solve the inequality y+5>38, we need to isolate y on one side of the inequality sign.
1. For y = 33:
33 + 5 > 38
38 > 38
This is not true, so y = 33 is not a valid solution.
2. For y = 34:
34 + 5 > 38
39 > 38
This is true, so y = 34 is a valid solution.
3. For y = 35:
35 + 5 > 38
40 > 38
This is also true, so y = 35 is a valid solution.
Therefore, the possible values of y that satisfy the inequality y+5>38 are y = 34 and y = 35.
