To solve it, first multiply by the reciprocal.

What is the reciprocal of $\sf\Large\frac{-6}{7}$

Hint: Reciprocal of $\sf\Large\frac{a}{b}$ is $\sf\Large\frac{b}{a}$

thesmartone · Answer

and note that since you will be multiplying by a negative number on both sides, the sign will flip.

So the $\sf \le$ will become a $\sf \ge$

anonymous · Answer

oh it would be 7 over -6

thesmartone · Answer

correct, and so multiply both sides by that and don't forget the switch the sign :)

anonymous · Answer

so y flip the sign 70 over -6?

thesmartone · Answer

correct

$\sf\large y \ge -\frac{70}{6}$


One last step, just simplify -70/6 so it's in simplest form
