You can put this solution on YOUR website!
4(y+1)-3(y-5)is greater than or equal to 3(y-1)
4%28y%2B1%29-3%28y-5%29%3E=3%28y-1%29
First distribute;
4y%2B4-3y%2B15%3E=3y-3
Add like terms;
4y-3y%2B4%2B15%3E=3y-3
y%2B19%3E=3y-3
Now subtrat 19 from both sides, and subtract 3y from both sides;
y%2B19-19-3y=3y-3-19-3y
y-3y%3E=-3-19
-2y%3E=-22
y%3E=11
You would solve the problem just as if it was an = sign.
