To solve the inequality -13y + 4 > 2(4 - 3y), you would follow these steps:

Distribute the 2 on the right side: -13y + 4 > 8 - 6y
Add 6y to both sides: -13y + 6y + 4 > 8
Combine like terms: -7y + 4 > 8
Subtract 4 from both sides: -7y > 4
Divide both sides by -7, remembering to reverse the inequality sign since you're dividing by a negative number: y < -4/7
