Question

How do you solve `1/3y>=5`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Multiply each side of the inequality by `color(red)(3)` to solve for `y` while keeping the inequality balanced:

`color(red)(3) xx 1/3y >= color(red)(3) xx 5`

`cancel(color(red)(3)) xx 1/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(3)))y >= 15`

`y >= 15`
