Is the inequality 15 times 𝑦 is less than or equal to 93 divided by three true or false, if 𝑦 equals two.

So this means we need to take our inequality and substitute two in for 𝑦. So we will take 𝑦 and replace it with two. So now, let’s simplify each side of the inequality and determine if it’s true or false.

On the left-hand side, 15 times two is 30. Now, on the right-hand side, 93 divided by three is 31. So is 30 less than or equal to 31? Yes, it is: 30 is less than 31.

So this would be true.
