Question 946858: Please help me solve this equation:
I am having trouble with multiplying the inequality by the LCD (least common denominator), which is 3z+6. I wrote out the inequality like this:

The problem is I am not sure how to divide the denominators of the fractions into the least common denominator (3z+6). When I try to divide it, it turns into this:

The inequality above gives me an answer of but that is incorrect, so I'm confused. If you are able, could you please explain what I'm doing wrong?

37/(3z+6)<= 1/3- 2z/(z+2)
--------
The LCD is 3(z+2)
----
Multiplying thru by the LCD you get:
37 <= (z+2) - 6z
----
37 <= -5z + 2
---
5z <= 2-37
5z <= -35
z <= -7
