\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"14-5y%3C=8y-8\"$ Start with the given inequality\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"-5y%3C=8y-8-14\"$ Subtract 14 from both sides\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"-5y-8y%3C=-8-14\"$ Subtract 8y from both sides\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"-13y%3C=-8-14\"$ Combine like terms on the left side\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"-13y%3C=-22\"$ Combine like terms on the right side\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%3E=%28-22%29%2F%28-13%29\"$ Divide both sides by -13 to isolate y (note: Remember, dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign) \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%3E=22%2F13\"$ Reduce\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So our answer is $\"y%3E=22%2F13\"$ (which is approximately $\"y%3E=1.69231\"$ in decimal form)\r
