Question
Solve each inequality. Write each answer using solution set notation.$$-\frac{2}{3} y \leq 8$$
Step 1
Remember that when we multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, we must reverse the direction of the inequality. So we have: $$-\frac{2}{3} y \times -\frac{3}{2} \leq 8 \times -\frac{3}{2}$$ which simplifies to: $$y \geq -12$$ Show more…
