14-5y%3C=8y-8 Start with the given inequality



-5y%3C=8y-8-14Subtract 14 from both sides


-5y-8y%3C=-8-14 Subtract 8y from both sides


-13y%3C=-8-14 Combine like terms on the left side


-13y%3C=-22 Combine like terms on the right side


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)



y%3E=22%2F13 Reduce

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is y%3E=22%2F13 (which is approximately y%3E=1.69231 in decimal form)
