Do you mean: \"%281%2F2%29y%2B%281%2F4%29y%3E=-6\" ...OR... \"%281%2F%282y%29%29%2B%281%2F%284y%29%29%3E=-6\" ??\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "*** Please note: When typing problems in computers, please use parenthesis to distinguish numerators from denominators ...and... fractions from variables that are not inside the fractions. This way there are no misunderstandings. ***\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solving for: \"%281%2F2%29y%2B%281%2F4%29y%3E=-6\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by 4 on both sides of the inequality to get rid of fractions.
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%28%281%2F2%29y%2B%281%2F4%29y%29%3E=4%2A%28-6%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "We get:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2y%2By%3E=-24\"
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( "\"3y%3E=-24\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 3 on both sides to determine the values of y.
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%3E=-8\"\r

\n" ); document.write( "Multiply by 4y on both sides of inequality to get rid of fractions.
\n" ); document.write( "\"4y%28%281%2F%282y%29%29%2B%281%2F%284y%29%29%29%3E=4y%28-6%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "We get:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2y%2B1%3E=-24y\"
\n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2y%2B24y%3E=-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify:
\n" ); document.write( "\"26y%3E=-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 26 on both sides to determine the values of y.
