The value of y for which frac 1 5 y frac 1 5 lt... - JAMB Mathematics 2012 Question

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})
