Solve y-3/4geq-1/5

$$y - \frac { 3 } { 4 } \geq - \frac { 1 } { 5 }$$

Solve for y

$$y\geq \frac{11}{20}$$

Solution Steps

Add \frac{3}{4} to both sides.

$$y\geq -\frac{1}{5}+\frac{3}{4}$$

Least common multiple of 5 and 4 is 20. Convert -\frac{1}{5} and \frac{3}{4} to fractions with denominator 20.

$$y\geq -\frac{4}{20}+\frac{15}{20}$$

Since -\frac{4}{20} and \frac{15}{20} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$y\geq \frac{-4+15}{20}$$

Add -4 and 15 to get 11.

$$y\geq \frac{11}{20}$$
