32-8y%3E-4%28y-10%29 Start with the given inequality.


32-8y%3E-4y%2B40 Distribute.


-8y%3E-4y%2B40-32 Subtract 32 from both sides.


-8y%2B4y%3E40-32 Add 4y to both sides.


-4y%3E40-32 Combine like terms on the left side.


-4y%3E8 Combine like terms on the right side.


y%3C%288%29%2F%28-4%29 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate y. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


y%3C-2 Reduce.
