Question

Solve for y.

y/4 - (y-1)/2 (> or equal to) 3

Answer 1

\[\frac{y}{4}-\frac{y-1}{2}\geq 3\] multiply by 4 and get
\[y-2(y-1)\geq 6\]

Answer 2

oops
\[y-2(y-1)\geq 12\] looks better since \(4\times 3=12\) sorry about that

Answer 3

you good from there or you need help finishing it?

Answer 4

(> or equal to) 10

Answer 5

i doubt it
lets check

Answer 6

remove parentheses and get
\[y-2y+2\geq 12\]

Answer 7

combine like terms
\[-y+2\geq 12\]

Answer 8

subtract \(2\) and get
\[-y\geq 10\]

Answer 9

but you need to solve for \(y\) not \(-y\)
change the signs and the inequality to get
\[y\leq -10\]
