You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If the equation is
\n" ); document.write( "\"7-8y%3E5-7y\"
\n" ); document.write( "then this solution is correct
\n" ); document.write( "- First start off by isolating the variable
\n" ); document.write( "\"7-8y%3E5-7y\"
\n" ); document.write( "- add 7y to both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"%287-8y%29%2B7y%3E%285-7y%29%2B7y\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7-8y%2B7y%3E5-7y%2B7y\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7-1y%3E5\"
\n" ); document.write( "- next subtract 7 from each side
\n" ); document.write( "\"%287-1y%29-7%3E%285%29-7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7-7-1y%3E5-7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-1y%3E-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "- the next step is a little tricky to remember becuase whenever the sign of coefficient of the variable is changed then the inequality sign must be flipped
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28-1y%29%2A%28-1%2F1%29%3E%28-2%29%2A%28-1%2F1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%3C2\"
\n" ); document.write( "- and your answer is y<2
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
