Question

help me plzzz


Solve for y.

y/4-(y-1)/2=>3

Answer 1

Is this the inequality? \(\Large \frac{y}{4} + \frac{y-1}{2} \ge 3 \)

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

I realized I made a mistake in the sign. Is this the one? Check carefully
\(\Large \frac{y}{4} - \frac{y-1}{2} \ge 3\)

Answer 4

oh my bad it look good. :)

Answer 5

Okay. Multiply throughout by 4 to get rid of the fraction:
\(\large \frac{y}{4}*4 - \frac{y-1}{2}*4 \ge 3*4 \) =
\(\large y - 2(y-1) \ge 12\)
\(\large y - 2y+2 \ge 12\)
\(\large -y+2 \ge 12\)
\(\large -y \ge 10\)
\(\large y \le 10\)

Answer 6

The last line should be: \(\Large y \le -10\)
That is, y is less than or equal to minus 10.
