Answer:
y ≥ -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, y. Treat the ≤ sign like an equal, meaning that what you do to one side, you do to the other.
Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:
Parenthesis
Exponents (& Roots)
Multiplications
Divisions
Additions
Subtractions

First, subtract 4y from both sides:
y (-4y) ≤ 6 + 4y (-4y)
y - 4y ≤ 6
Combine like terms:
(y - 4y) ≤ 6
(-3y) ≤ 6
Isolate the variable, y. Divide -3 from both sides. Note that, when you multiply or divide by a negative number, you must flip the sign:
(-3y)/-3 ≤ (6)/-3
y ≤ 6/-3
y ≥ -2
y ≥ -2 is your answer.
