Solve the inequality and describe the solution set.
y-6>12
-
Is it y – 6 ≥ 12 y – 6 ≥ 12
add 6 to both sides and you get
y > 18
(or y≥18 if that's what you want)
In any case, the solution set is all numbers greater than (or equal to?) 18
I don't understand
To solve the inequality y - 6 > 12, we need to isolate the variable y by undoing the operations one by one.
First, we'll get rid of the -6 on the left side of the inequality by adding 6 to both sides:
y - 6 + 6 > 12 + 6
This simplifies to:
y > 18
The solution to the inequality is y > 18, which means that any value of y greater than 18 will make the inequality true. The solution set can be described as all real numbers greater than 18.
