Question 1165206
<pre>
First of all, never type the 'less than', " < " key without a space
immediately after it, because " < " is the beginning of an HTML tag and will
usually delete what comes after it.  So all that showed up on your post was
16/4.  I skipped the spaces for you.

{{{16/4<y+5/2<25/4}}}

Multiply all three sides through by 4 to clear the fractions.  [Since 4 is
positive, multiplying through by it won't cause the inequality symbols to
reverse as they would if you were to multiply through by a negative number.]

{{{16<4y+10<25}}}

Add -10 to all three sides 

{{{16-10<4y+10-10<25-10}}}

{{{6<4y<15}}}

Divide all three sides through by 4:

{{{(6)/4<4y/4<15/4}}}

Reduce the fraction on the left and cancel the 4's in the middle:

{{{3/2<y<15/4}}}
