Question on: JAMB Mathematics - 2012

The value of y for which \(\frac{1}{5}y + \frac{1}{5} < \frac{1}{2}y + \frac{2}{5}\) is
A
\(y > \frac{2}{3}\)
B
\(y < \frac{2}{3}\)
C
\(y > -\frac{2}{3}\)
D
\(y < -\frac{2}{3}\)
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: C
\(\frac{1}{5}y + \frac{1}{5} < \frac{1}{2}y + \frac{2}{5}\)

Collect like terms

\(\frac{y}{5} - \frac{y}{2} < \frac{2}{5} - \frac{1}{5}\)

\(\frac{2y - 5y}{10} < \frac{2 - 1}{5}\)

\(\frac{-3y}{10} < \frac{1}{5}\)

\(y > \frac{-2}{3}\)
