Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the inequality \( y + 4 \leq -2 \), we need to isolate the variable \( y \). The next logical step is to subtract 4 from both sides of the inequality.
Solution Approach
Begin with the simplified inequality \( y + 4 \leq -2 \).
Subtract 4 from both sides to isolate \( y \).
Step 1: Start with the Simplified Inequality
We start with the simplified inequality:
\[
y + 4 \leq -2
\]
Step 2: Subtract 4 from Both Sides
To isolate \( y \), we subtract 4 from both sides of the inequality:
\[
y + 4 - 4 \leq -2 - 4
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
y \leq -6
\]
Final Answer
The solution to the inequality is:
\[
\boxed{y \leq -6}
\]
