STEPS

------ not know what you call this for inequalities but like Symmetric Property of Equality

------ANSWER

Steps to solving can vary. You have your steps and you should look through them to identify your mistake. My steps avoided any division or multiplication by negative values. I did NOT consciously rely it that. If you DO either multiply or divide by a negative value, you must reverse the order relation symbol. Other than that, all of the same number properties work as they would for equalities.

Solved for y in the inequality. y is NOT 8. y is GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 8.
