Question

How do you simplify `-4< 26- 5y`?

Answer 1

The simplified version would read as `y < 6`.

Explanation:

While solving such questions what we need to do is to bring the variable (`y` in this case) to any one side of the inequality and separate the numbers to the other side.

Now, take `-5y` to the left-hand side and take `-4` to the right-hand side. If you are familiar with the inequality sign operations, you will know that with changes in sides, the sign of the numbers changes. So we have,

`5y < 30`

Dividing both sides by `5`, we obtain

`y < 6`

All the best for your studies.
