The question, in short

Find integer y values satisfying −4 ≤ 2y < 6, then solve the inequality 7t − 3 ≤ 2t + 31 showing working.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and any diagrams.

Part (a) · 2 marks

List every integer value of y that satisfies the double inequality −4 ≤ 2y < 6.

  1. 1−4 ≤ 2y < 6
  2. 2Divide all parts by 2: −2 ≤ y < 3
  3. 3y is an integer, so possible values are −2, −1, 0, 1, 2

Answer−2, −1, 0, 1, 2

Part (b) · 2 marks

Solve 7t − 3 ≤ 2t + 31 for t, showing clear working.

  1. 17t − 3 ≤ 2t + 31
  2. 27t − 2t ≤ 31 + 3
  3. 35t ≤ 34
  4. 4t ≤ 34/5
  5. 5t ≤ 6.8

Answert ≤ 6.8
