Question 34708: Hello, Thanks in advance for your assistance. I need help with inequalities.
Question:
Y/-3 <= 4
I tried to solve by multiplying each side by the recipricol of -3/y, but could not solve w/the same rules as some of the other inequality problems that i've done. What is the rule when the unknown is part of the fraction?

Keep in mind that when you multiply thru an inequality by
a negative number, the inequality changes from > to < or
from < to >.
In your problem, multiply both sides by (-3) to get:
y>=-12
