Answer:
To solve for y in the inequality 5(2y - 1) < -15, we can simplify the expression on the left-hand side as follows:
5(2y - 1) < -15
10y - 5 < -15 // Distribute the 5 on the left side
10y < -10 // Add 5 to both sides
y < -1 // Divide both sides by 10 and flip the inequality
Therefore, the solution is y < -1.
