solve the following inequality

-5/10 y ≤ 5

1 answer

To solve the inequality, we can simplify it first:

-5/10y ≤ 5.

Next, we multiply both sides of the inequality by 10 to get rid of the fraction:

-5y ≤ 5 * 10.

Simplifying further:

-5y ≤ 50.

Now we divide both sides of the inequality by -5. Since we're dividing by a negative number, we need to reverse the inequality sign:

y ≥ 50/-5.

Simplifying:

y ≥ -10.

So, the solution to the inequality is y ≥ -10.
