42-13y%3C15y-19 Start with the given inequality.


-13y%3C15y-19-42 Subtract 42 from both sides.


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


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


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


y%3E%28-61%29%2F%28-28%29 Divide both sides by -28 to isolate y. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


y%3E61%2F28 Reduce.
