You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Given:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) 10 > 5x - 2y
\n" ); document.write( "Now add 2y to each side of (1) to get
\n" ); document.write( "(2) 2y + 10 > 5x
\n" ); document.write( "Now subtract 10 from each side of (2) and get
\n" ); document.write( "(3) 2y > 5x - 10
\n" ); document.write( "Now divide both sides of (3) by +2 and get
\n" ); document.write( "(4) y > (5/2)x - 5
\n" ); document.write( "The solution is all values of y that lie ABOVE the straight line,
\n" ); document.write( "(5) y = (5/2)x - 5
\n" ); document.write( "The line itself is not in the solution and is drawn as a dotted line when graphed.
\n" ); document.write( "Note: None of the above algebraic steps require us to reverse the inequality sign.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
