Starting with:
y - 6 ≥ 12
Add 6 to both sides:
y ≥ 18
Now solving:
y - 6 ≤ 12
Add 6 to both sides:
y ≤ 18
Therefore, the solution set is {y | y ≥ 18 or y ≤ 18}. In other words, any value of y that is greater than or equal to 18, or any value of y that is less than or equal to 18, satisfies the original inequality.
