For what values of y is the value of the binomial 5y−1 greater than the value of the fraction (3y−1)/4 ?

Answer 1

The value of y must be greater than 3/17

Explanation:

To find out the value of y, wee need to solve the inequality

`5y-1 > (3y-1)/(4)`

Multiply by 4 both sides to remove the fraction

`20y-4 > 3y-1`

subtract 3y both sides

`20y-4-3y > -1`

`17y-4 > -1`

Adds 4 both sides

`17y > -1+4`

`17y > 3`

Divide by 17 both sides

`y > 3/17`

The value of y must be greater than 3/17
