Question

How do you solve `y+ \frac{1}{2} \leq - \frac{5}{8}`?

Answer 1

`color(green)(y<= -9/8)`

Explanation:

Remember that you can add or subtract the same amount to/from both sides of an inequality without effecting the validity or orientation of the inequality.

Subtracting `1/2=4/8` from both sides gives
`color(white)("XXX")y <= -9/8`
