y < -5
Explanation:
Isolate the y term by subtracting 10 from both sides
# -5y + 10 - 10 > 35 - 10 → - 5y > 25# now divide both sides by - 5 .
When an inequation is multiplied or divided by a negative quantity the inequality sign must be reversed.
thus
#(cancel(-5) y)/cancel(-5) < 25/(-5)#
#rArr y < -5 #
