Step-by-step explanation

Given the system of inequalities:

-5(y-4) ≤ 30 or 18 + y < 20

Applying the distributive property:

-5y + 20 ≤ 30 or 18 + y < 20

Subtracting -2 to both sides of the first inequality and -18 to the second one:

-5y ≤ 30 - 20 or y < 20 - 18

Subtracting numbers:

-5y ≤ 10 or y < 2

Dividing both sides by 5 in the first inequality:

-y ≤ 10/5 or y < 2

Simplifying the first inequality:

-y ≤ 2 or y < 2

Dividing by -1 the first inequality and reversing:

y ≥ 2 or y < 2

In conclusion, the solution in interval notation is as follows:

(-∞,∞)
