Clearing a decimal means multiply by a factor of 10 large enough to move the decimal point to make it a whole number.
3X+4y=.007.
To clear the decimal we have to move it 3 places to the right. That means multiply by 10^3 = 100. Multiplying both sides by 100 yields
300x + 400y = 7.
The same applies for an inequality.
.3X -.06 > 10
.06 has the most decimal places, so that's the one we handle. To clear it we have to move the decimal point two places to the right, meaning multiply by 10^2 = 100. Multiplying both sides by 100 yields
30x - 6 > 10.
Add 6 to both sides (30x > 16), then divide both sides by 30
x > 16/30
x > 8/15
