Question 376365
{{{6u-4>=(1/3)u+6}}} Start with the given inequality.



{{{3(6u-4)>=3((1/cross(3))u+6)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{3}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{18u-12>=u+18}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{18u>=u+18+12}}} Add {{{12}}} to both sides.



{{{18u-u>=18+12}}} Subtract {{{u}}} from both sides.



{{{17u>=18+12}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{17u>=30}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{u>=(30)/(17)}}} Divide both sides by {{{17}}} to isolate {{{u}}}. 



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the solution is {{{u>=30/17}}}
