(a) what is the system that models this situation ?
(b) solve the system of equations

Try this explanation/solution:

a) the system which describes this situation is:

b) the solution of the system made up:

y < -3

step-by-step explanation:

-3y - 2 > 7

-3y -2 + 2 > 7+2

-3y > 9

-3y/-3 < 9/-3   (change the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number)

y < -3
