Answer :

To find the range of possible values for [tex]\( y \)[/tex] in the given inequality, we need to solve the compound inequality step-by-step. Initially, the inequality is:

[tex]\[ 19 < 30° + (2y - 9) < 21 \][/tex]

This can be simplified by treating 30° as a constant value. Let’s reframe our inequality:

[tex]\[ 19 < 30 + (2y - 9) < 21 \][/tex]

First, simplify the expression inside the inequality:

[tex]\[ 30 + (2y - 9) = 30 - 9 + 2y = 21 + 2y \][/tex]

Now, the inequality is:

[tex]\[ 19 < 21 + 2y < 21 \][/tex]

We can separate this compound inequality into two parts and solve each part separately.

First part:
[tex]\[ 19 < 21 + 2y \][/tex]

Subtract 21 from both sides of the inequality to isolate the term involving [tex]\( y \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ 19 - 21 < 2y \][/tex]

[tex]\[ -2 < 2y \][/tex]

Divide both sides by 2:

[tex]\[ -1 < y \][/tex]

Second part:
[tex]\[ 21 + 2y < 21 \][/tex]

Subtract 21 from both sides of the inequality to isolate the term involving [tex]\( y \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ 21 + 2y - 21 < 21 - 21 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ 2y < 0 \][/tex]

Divide both sides by 2:

[tex]\[ y < 0 \][/tex]

Combining the two parts, we get:

[tex]\[ -1 < y < 0 \][/tex]

Therefore, the range of possible values for [tex]\( y \)[/tex] is:

[tex]\[ -1 < y < 0 \][/tex]

Thus, the final answer is:

[tex]\[ -1 < y < 0 \][/tex]
