so I have an equation Im stuck on which is 7y-2x>= (greater than or equal to) 7y-8 I was able to break it down to x=4 but I am not sure if Im doing it right though. I basically subtracted 7y from both sides then I divided -2 from both sides to get my answer. So far am I heading in the right direction? if so what do I do next to figure out y?
Having problem solving linear inequality equation have to finish the before tomorrow.

How did you manage an EQUALITY when you started with an INEQUALITY? Something went seriously wrong.
7y - 2x >= 7y-8
Subtract 7y
-2x >= -8
Add 8
8 - 2x >= 0
Add 2x
8 >= 2x
Divide by 2
4 >= x
Still an INequality.
You seem to be close. Be a little more formal and you will have it.
