Question
Solve the inequality
Solve for x
Solve for y
x<−2y−4
Evaluate
y<2−1x−2
Use b−a=−ba=−ba to rewrite the fraction
y<−21x−2
Swap the sides of the inequality
−21x−2>y
Move the constant to the right side
−21x>y+2
Change the signs on both sides of the inequality and flip the inequality sign
21x<−y−2
Multiply by the reciprocal
21x×2<(−y−2)×2
Multiply
x<(−y−2)×2
