Question

I can’t figure out the solution I think it is y < -10

Answer 1

Hey there!

• With negatives ($-$) you have to switch your symbol to the other way
• $\bold{\frac{y}{-2}\leq5}$
• Firstly, substitute the $\bold{y\ value  }$ as an invisible 1
• So, now we have to flip the equation around
• $\bold{\frac{-1}{2}y\leq5}$
• We have to $\bold{multiply}$ by $\bold{-2}$ on each of your sides
• $\bold{-2\times\frac{-1}{2}\leq-2\times5}$
• $\bold{Cancel \ out:2\times\frac{-1}{2}y \ because \ it \ equal \ 1}$
• $\bold{Keep: -2\times5 \ because \ it \ helps \ us \ find \ our \ answer}$
• $\bold{-2\times5=-10}$
• $\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:y\geq-10}}}\checkmark$

Good luck on your assignment  and enjoy your day!
