Nice....and the question is ?

How do you solve?

How do you solve this equation?

4x+2y<-15

It isn't an equation; it's an inequality.

For which variable are you supposed to solve this inequality? Are you sure the instructions said to "solve", rather than to "graph the solution region"?

What have you tried? How far have you gotten?

Please be specific. Thank you.
