30y+15y<5y+3y
Multiply both sides of the equation by 15. Since 15 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
45y<5y+3y
Combine 30y and 15y to get 45y.
45y<8y
Combine 5y and 3y to get 8y.
45y-8y<0
Subtract 8y from both sides.
37y<0
Combine 45y and -8y to get 37y.
y<0
Product of two numbers is <0 if one is >0 and the other is <0. Since 37>0, y must be <0.
