4%28y-4%29%3E2%285y%2B4%29 Start with the given inequality.


4y-16%3E10y%2B8 Distribute.


4y%3E10y%2B8%2B16 Add 16 to both sides.


4y-10y%3E8%2B16 Subtract 10y from both sides.


-6y%3E8%2B16 Combine like terms on the left side.


-6y%3E24 Combine like terms on the right side.


y%3C%2824%29%2F%28-6%29 Divide both sides by -6 to isolate y. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


y%3C-4 Reduce.
