17+5y-8y\leq -7
Subtract 8y from both sides.
17-3y\leq -7
Combine 5y and -8y to get -3y.
-3y\leq -7-17
Subtract 17 from both sides.
-3y\leq -24
Subtract 17 from -7 to get -24.
y\geq \frac{-24}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3. Since -3 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.
y\geq 8
Divide -24 by -3 to get 8.
