15y<5
15y<5
y < 5/15
y < 1/3
To solve the inequality 15y < 5:
1. Start by isolating the variable y. Since there is a multiplication by 15 on the left side of the inequality, we need to divide both sides of the inequality by 15:
(15y)/15 < 5/15
Simplifying, we have:
y < 1/3
Therefore, the solution is y is less than 1/3.
