Question 486616: Please help me with this inequality. I tried but my answer does not match up with the answer key.
-20/3<=-2/3-2y<=10/3
I multiplied each part by 3 to get rid of the fractions and got
-20<=-2-6y<=10
Then I added 2 to each side to get rid of the -2
-18<=-6y<=12
Then I divided by -6 and got
3<=y<=-6
That is what I got for my final answer. The answer the teacher gave us said
-2<=y<=3

When one multiplies or divides by negative number, the inequality reverses.
So /(-6) result is
3>=y>=-2 as teacher said.
Note: you also didn't computer the 3rd term well (-2 not -6).
