You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3y-1<8y-3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 8y from each side:
\n" ); document.write( "3y-8y-1<8y-8y-3
\n" ); document.write( "-5y-1<-3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Add +1 to each side
\n" ); document.write( "-5y-1+1<-3+1
\n" ); document.write( "-5y<-2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by -5, and don't forget to REVERSE the sign because you divided by a NEGATIVE number:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28-5y%29%2F%28-5%29+%3E+%28-2%29%2F%28-5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+%3E+2%2F5\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Set builder notation is {y|y>2/5}, which is read:
\n" ); document.write( "THE SET of all values of Y, SUCH THAT, y>2/5.\r
