-2y%2B8%3C24 Start with the given inequality.


-2y%3C24-8 Subtract 8 from both sides.


-2y%3C16 Combine like terms on the right side.


y%3E%2816%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate y. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


y%3E-8 Reduce.
