You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2%280.5-3y%29%2By%3E%284y-0.2%298
1-6y%2By%3E32y-1.6
1-5y%3E32y-1.6
You had a sign wrong at this next step:
-2.6%2B32y%3C-5y
-2.6%3C-37y
Now divide each side by -37 to solve for y. Note that you have to swap the inequality direction when dividing by a negative number:
highlight%28y%3C2.6%2F37%29
