Answer

$ y \leq -56$

Work Step by Step

We first add 6 to both sides of the equation. In order to cancel out a fraction that is being multiplied by a variable, we multiply by the reciprocal of the fraction. Thus, we then multiply both sides of the inequality by -7/6. $ - \frac{6}{7}y \geq 48 \\\\ y \leq -56$ (Note, the direction of the inequality symbol is flipped because we divide by a negative).
