Question

can someone help me with this equation please.

1/3y+-1/2<= 5/6y+1/2

Answer 1

multiply every thing by 1/2. then get one y term on one side and ur done.

Answer 2

multiply the entire equation by 6 to get rid of the fractions...
(6)1/3y - (6)1/2 <= (6)5/6y + (6)1/2
2y - 3 <= 5y + 3
2y - 5y <= 3 + 3
-3y <= 6 (divide by -3)
y >= -2 (when dividing/multiplying by a negative, the sign changes)

or...
1/3y - 1/2 <= 5/6y + 1/2
1/3y - 5/6y <= 1/2 + 1/2
2/6y - 5/6y <= 1
- 3/6y <= 1 (divide by -3/6)
y >= 1 * -6/3 (change the sign)
y > = 2

either way you will get the same answer. It just depends on if you want o deal with fractions or not :)

Answer 3

Ok, THANK YOU =)

Answer 4

anytime :)
