Q. Solve for

y

.

\newline

-5 < -1 - y

Isolate y: Step $1$ : Start by isolating y in the inequality -5 < -1 - y. $\newline$ Add $-1$ to both sides to keep the inequality balanced. $\newline$ -5 + 1 < -y $\newline$ -4 < -y
Multiply by $-1$ : Step $2$ : Multiply both sides by $-1$ to solve for $y$ . Remember, multiplying by a negative number reverses the inequality sign. $\newline$ -4 \times -1 > y $\newline$ 4 > y
Rewrite inequality: Step $3$ : Rewrite the inequality in a more standard form. y < 4
