You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-4y+6<-14....you are trying to isolate the variable on one side
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "first subtract 6 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-4y%2B6-6%3C-6-14\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-4y%3C-20\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "now divide both sides by -4 , remembering that when you divide an inequality by a negative number the inequality reverses.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28y%3E5%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
