Solve -1.44leq-1.8y

$$- 1.44 \leq - 1.8 y$$

Solve for y

$$y\leq 0.8$$

Solution Steps

Divide both sides by -1.8. Since -1.8 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.

$$\frac{-1.44}{-1.8}\geq y$$

Expand \frac{-1.44}{-1.8} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$\frac{-144}{-180}\geq y$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-144}{-180} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -36.

$$\frac{4}{5}\geq y$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side. This changes the sign direction.

$$y\leq \frac{4}{5}$$
