Step 1
8 - 5 y > - 37
Solving inequalities is very similar to solving equations.
First, add - 37 to both sides of the inequality:
8 - 5 y    +    37 > - 37    +    37
45 - 5 y > 0
Add 5 y to both sides of the inequality:
45 - 5 y    +    5 y > 0    +    5 y
45 > 5 y
Now divide both sides by 5 :
45 5 > 5 y 5
9 > y
However, we want our variable y to be on the left hand side while making y still be less than 9, so it is:
y < 9
