Solve the Inequality for y 5>=7+y

$5 \geq 7 + y$

Step 1

Rewrite so $y$ is on the left side of the inequality.

$7 + y \leq 5$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $y$ to the right side of the inequality.

Subtract $7$ from both sides of the inequality.

$y \leq 5 - 7$

Subtract $7$ from $5$ .

$y \leq - 2$

Step 3

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Inequality Form:

$y \leq - 2$
