Question 702063
Solve for y



{{{-2(y-7)>-2+4}}} Start with the given inequality.



{{{-2y+14>-2+4}}} Distribute.



{{{-2y+14>2}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{-2y>2-14}}} Subtract {{{14}}} from both sides.



{{{-2y>-12}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{y<(-12)/(-2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-2}}} to isolate {{{y}}}. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number. 



{{{y<6}}} Reduce.



So any number less than 6 is a possible solution.
