%281%2F4%29%288y%2B4%29-34%3C-%281%2F3%29%289y-6%29 Start with the given inequality.


3%288y%2B4%29-408%3C-4%289y-6%29 Multiply EVERY term (except the terms in the parenthesis) by the LCD 12 to clear the fractions.


24y%2B12-408%3C-36y%2B24 Distribute.


24y-396%3C-36y%2B24 Combine like terms on the left side.


24y%3C-36y%2B24%2B396 Add 396 to both sides.


24y%2B36y%3C24%2B396 Add 36y to both sides.


60y%3C24%2B396 Combine like terms on the left side.


60y%3C420 Combine like terms on the right side.


y%3C%28420%29%2F%2860%29 Divide both sides by 60 to isolate y.


y%3C7 Reduce.

Answer:

So the answer is y%3C7
