Question

Solve the inequality and describe the solution set:
y-6 ≥ 12

Answer 1

y≥18

You want to get the y only on one side of the equation. To get rid of the -6 you have to add 6 to both sides to even out the equation.

y-6≥12
+6 +6
y ≥18

Answer 2

Answer: The solution set is y≥18.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

`y-6\geq 12`

We need to first find the inequality and find the solution set.

`y-6\geq 12\\\\y\geq 12+6\\\\y\geq 18`

So, the solution set for this would be all the values of y which is greater than 18.

i.e. y≥18.
