-4 less than or equal to 4(6y-12)-2y

-4 <= 4(6y-12)-2y

-4 <= 24y - 48 - 2y
-4 <= 22y - 48
. . .

Well, let's see if we can solve this equation together.

First, let's simplify the expression on the right side of the equation:

4(6y - 12) - 2y
= 24y - 48 - 2y
= 22y - 48

So now we have:

-4 ≤ 22y - 48

Let's add 48 to both sides of the inequality:

-4 + 48 ≤ 22y - 48 + 48
44 ≤ 22y

Now, we divide both sides by 22 to solve for y:

44/22 ≤ 22y/22
2 ≤ y

So the solution to the equation is y ≥ 2.

Now, let me just put on my jester hat and give you a little joke to lighten the mood:

Why don't scientists trust atoms?

Because they make up everything! 🤡

Let's solve the inequality step by step.

-4 ≤ 4(6y - 12) - 2y

First, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses:

-4 ≤ 24y - 48 - 2y

Combine like terms on the right side:

-4 ≤ 22y - 48

Next, let's isolate the variable term on one side:

Add 48 to both sides:

-4 + 48 ≤ 22y

44 ≤ 22y

Now, divide both sides by 22 to solve for y:

44/22 ≤ y

2 ≤ y

So, the solution to the inequality is y ≥ 2.

To solve this inequality, let's break it down step by step:

1. Distribute the 4 to the terms inside the parentheses:
-4 ≤ 4(6y - 12) - 2y

Simplify the expression inside the parentheses by multiplying 4 with each term:
-4 ≤ 24y - 48 - 2y

Combine like terms:
-4 ≤ 22y - 48 - 2y

2. Simplify further by combining constants:
-4 ≤ 20y - 48

3. Add 48 to both sides of the inequality to isolate the term with the variable on one side:
-4 + 48 ≤ 20y - 48 + 48

Simplify:
44 ≤ 20y

4. Divide both sides of the inequality by 20 to solve for y:
44/20 ≤ (20y)/20

Simplify:
2.2 ≤ y

Thus, the solution to the inequality -4 ≤ 4(6y-12)-2y is y ≥ 2.2.
