`
y < 4

Thank You
`
The left side is y, the right side in 4
`
Since the left side is LESS THAN the right side, you must add a positive
number to the left side to make it equal to the right side.
`
This positive number is often called a "slack variable", because it takes up
the slack between the smaller left side and the larger right side.
`
Let this positive number be represented by " s ". Then
`
y + s = 4
