To solve the inequality:

$$
2 + \frac{1}{4} y < -5
$$

**Step 1:** Subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the term with $$ y $$:

$$
\frac{1}{4} y < -5 - 2
$$
$$
\frac{1}{4} y < -7
$$

**Step 2:** Multiply both sides by 4 to solve for $$ y $$:

$$
y < -7 \times 4
$$
$$
y < -28
$$

**Solution:**
$$
y < -28
$$
$$ y < -28 $$
