Solve for y


-2%28y-7%29%3E-2%2B4 Start with the given inequality.


-2y%2B14%3E-2%2B4 Distribute.


-2y%2B14%3E2 Combine like terms on the right side.


-2y%3E2-14 Subtract 14 from both sides.


-2y%3E-12 Combine like terms on the right side.


y%3C%28-12%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate y. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


y%3C6 Reduce.


So any number less than 6 is a possible solution.
