Solve 25.2leq-1.5y+1.2

$$25.2 \leq - 1.5 y + 1.2$$

Solve for y

$$y\leq -16$$

Solution Steps

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

$$-1.5y+1.2\geq 25.2$$

Subtract 1.2 from both sides.

$$-1.5y\geq 25.2-1.2$$

Subtract 1.2 from 25.2 to get 24.

$$-1.5y\geq 24$$

Divide both sides by -1.5. Since -1.5 is negative, the inequality direction is changed.

$$y\leq \frac{24}{-1.5}$$

Expand \frac{24}{-1.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$y\leq \frac{240}{-15}$$

Divide 240 by -15 to get -16.

$$y\leq -16$$
