Hi! Let's solve this inequality!

Move 12 to the right side, using the opposite operation.

y>17-12

y>5

Thus, any value of y greater than 5 will make this inequality true.

Let's try 6, since 6 is greater than 5.

12+6>17

18>17

Yeah, it worked :)

Thus, any value of y greater than 5 will make this inequality true.

Hope it helps!

Enjoy your day!

Please feel free to ask if you have any doubts.
