Q. Solve for

y

.

\newline

-1y - 5 < -4

Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term in -1y - 5 < -4. Add $5$ to both sides of the inequality to move the constant term to the right side. -1y - 5 + 5 < -4 + 5 -1y < 1
Add $5$ to both sides: Now, solve for $y$ . Since the coefficient of $y$ is $-1$ , divide both sides of the inequality by $-1$ to isolate $y$ . Remember that when you divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign changes. -1y / -1 > 1 / -1 y > -1
