Answer: y = 6

Simplify both sides of the equation.

12> −y + 18

Flip around the equation.

-y + 18 - 18 < 12 - 18

Divide both sides by 1.


(-y)/(-1) <
(-6)/(-1)

y > 6

Answer:

6 <y

Explanation:

12 > 18 – y

Subtract 18 from each side

12-18 > 18-18 – y

-6 > -y

Divide each side by -1, remembering to flip the inequality

-6/-1 < -y-1

6 <y
