Solve the inequality for y.

14 <= 5y - 16

3 answers

Add 16 to both sides:
14 + 16 <= 5y
30 <= 5y

Divide by 5:
30/5 <= y
6 <= y

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is y >= 6.
Solve the inequality for w.
17-5w>42
Subtract 17 from both sides:
-5w > 42 - 17
-5w > 25

Divide by -5 (note that dividing by a negative number reverses the inequality):
w < -5

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is w < -5.
