1 Simplify 5y+16-8y-25y+16−8y−2 to -3y+14−3y+14.
7\ge -3y+147≥−3y+14
2 Subtract 1414 from both sides.
7-14\ge -3y7−14≥−3y
3 Simplify 7-147−14 to -7−7.
-7\ge -3y−7≥−3y
4 Divide both sides by -3−3.
\frac{-7}{-3}\le y
−3
−7
≤y
5 Two negatives make a positive.
\frac{7}{3}\le y
3
7
≤y
6 Switch sides.
y\ge \frac{7}{3}y≥
