Lilly takes a train each day to work that averages 35 miles per hour. on her way home, her train ride follows the same path and averages 45 miles per hour. if the total trip takes 2.5 hours, which equation can be used to find n, the number of miles lilly’s home is from her work?

hey there! : )

4y < -4

we need to isolate y. we can do this by simply dividing both sides by 4.

4y ÷ 4 > -4 ÷ 4

simplify.

y > -1

5 - y > 0

once again, we need to isolate y, so we can start off by subtracting 5 from both sides.

5 - y - 5 > 0 - 5

simplify.

-y > -5

divide both sides by -1.

** remember that when dividing any side by a negative, you must switch the sign! **

-y ÷ -1 < -5 ÷ -1

simplify.

y < 5
