Answer:
y < -3
Explanation:
Isolate the variable, y. Treat the > sign like an equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.
8 - 5y > 23
Do the opposite of PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponent (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).
First, subtract 8 from both sides
8 (-8) - 5y > 23 (-8)
-5y > 23 - 8
-5y > 15
Isolate the variable. Divide -5 from both sides. Note that when dividing a negative number from both sides, you must flip the sign.
(-5y)/-5 > (15)/-5
y < 15/-5
y < -3
y < -3 is your answer
