Question

solve the inequality for y.
37 - 5y ≤ 7
simplify your answer as much as possible.

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 37 from both sides

$37 - 5y - 37 \leq 7 - 37$
$ - 5y \leq - 30$

Step2: Divide both sides by -5 (remember to reverse the inequality sign)

$\frac{-5y}{-5} \geq \frac{-30}{-5}$
$y \geq 6$

Answer:

$y \geq 6$
