The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequality \( |-3y + 2| < 1 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Absolute Value Inequality The absolute value inequality \( |a| < b \) can be rewritten as: \[ -b < a < b \] In our case, \( a = -3y + 2 \) and \( b = 1 \). Therefore, we can rewrite the inequality as: \[ -1 < -3y + 2 < 1 \] ### Step 2: Break Down the Compound Inequality Now, we will break this down into two separate inequalities: 1. \( -1 < -3y + 2 \) 2. \( -3y + 2 < 1 \) ### Step 3: Solve the First Inequality Starting with the first inequality: \[ -1 < -3y + 2 \] Subtract 2 from both sides: \[ -1 - 2 < -3y \] This simplifies to: \[ -3 < -3y \] Now, divide both sides by -3. Remember, dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality: \[ 1 > y \quad \text{or} \quad y < 1 \] ### Step 4: Solve the Second Inequality Now, let's solve the second inequality: \[ -3y + 2 < 1 \] Subtract 2 from both sides: \[ -3y < 1 - 2 \] This simplifies to: \[ -3y < -1 \] Now, divide both sides by -3, reversing the inequality: \[ y > \frac{1}{3} \] ### Step 5: Combine the Results We now have two inequalities: 1. \( y < 1 \) 2. \( y > \frac{1}{3} \) Combining these gives us: \[ \frac{1}{3} < y < 1 \] ### Step 6: Find One Possible Value of \( y \) From the range \( \frac{1}{3} < y < 1 \), we can choose any value that lies within this interval. A simple choice is: \[ y = \frac{1}{2} \] ### Conclusion One possible value of \( y \) that satisfies the inequality \( |-3y + 2| < 1 \) is: \[ \boxed{\frac{1}{2}} \]
