Question 22753: I need help with solving for y:
5(4x+3) <= -1/2y + 5

I got:
20x + 15 <= -1/2y +5
20x + 10 <= -1/2y
I get confused when there are two variables and I have to solve for one.
Thanks

Solve for y:
First, multiply both sides by -2 and don't forget to reverse to order of the inequality.
Add 10 to both sides.
Simplify.
