42-13y%3E15y-19 Start with the given inequality



-13y%3E15y-19-42Subtract 42 from both sides


-13y-15y%3E-19-42 Subtract 15y from both sides


-28y%3E-19-42 Combine like terms on the left side


-28y%3E-61 Combine like terms on the right side


y%3C%28-61%29%2F%28-28%29 Divide both sides by -28 to isolate y (note: Remember, dividing both sides by a negative number flips the inequality sign)



y%3C61%2F28 Reduce

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is y%3C61%2F28 (which is approximately y%3C2.17857142857143 in decimal form)


So you are close, but forgot to flip the sign.
