show work and solve for y=??

Answer 1

Answer: y > -1

Explanation:

Given inequality

-1y + 7 < 8

Subtract 7 on both sides

-1y + 7 - 7 < 8 - 7

-1y < 1

Divide -1 on both sides (NOTE the signs need to be changed when dividing or multiplying negative numbers in an inequality)

-1y / -1 > 1 / -1

`\boxed{y>-1}`

= > y > - 1
