3y+1<3y+1 — step-by-step solution

Let's solve in

ℝ

3 y + 1 < 3 y + 1

ⓘ We subtract

1

from both sides■Start from

1

and move back

1

on the number line, down to zero:

1 - 1

0

3 y < 3 y + 0

ⓘ Adding 0 changes nothing:

3 y + 0

3 y

3 y < 3 y

3 y - 3 y < 0

ⓘ Like terms are grouped by adding their coefficients:

3 y - 3 y

0

0 < 0

The statement

0 < 0

is false, whatever the value of

y

▶Solution:

y \in \emptyset
