Hey there!

  • With negatives (
    -) you have to switch your symbol to the other way

  • \bold{(y)/(-2)\leq5}
  • Firstly, substitute the
    \bold{y\ value &nbsp;} as an invisible 1
  • So, now we have to flip the equation around

  • \bold{(-1)/(2)y\leq5}
  • We have to
    \bold{multiply} by
    \bold{-2} on each of your sides

  • \bold{-2*(-1)/(2)\leq-2*5}

  • \bold{Cancel \ out:2*(-1)/(2)y \ because \ it \ equal \ 1}

  • \bold{Keep: -2*5 \ because \ it \ helps \ us \ find \ our \ answer}

  • \bold{-2*5=-10}

  • \boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:y\geq-10}}}\checkmark

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
