Question

Solve. y/3 - 3/4 > 1/2

Answer 1

Explanation:

`$(y)/(3)-(3)/(4)>(1)/(2)\\`

We can see that the LCM of the denominators is 12, so, by multiplying the whole equation by 12, we can cancel out all of the fractions.

`$(y)/(3)(12)-(3)/(4)(12)>(1)/(2)(12)`

`4y-9>6`

`4y>15`

`y>(15)/(4)`

Answer 2

<=> y/3 > 1/2 + 3/4

<=> y/3 > 5/4

<=> y > 5/4 / 1/3

<=> y > 15/4
