y ≥ 12
can someone help me with this problem or steve could u help me?
y + 5 ≥ 7
y + 5 (-5) ≥ 7(-5)
y ≥ 2
I can help you with this problem! The given inequality is y + 5 ≥ 7. To solve this inequality, you should isolate the variable y by subtracting 5 from both sides of the inequality:
y + 5 - 5 ≥ 7 - 5
y ≥ 2
So, the correct answer is y ≥ 2.
To explain how I arrived at this answer, I subtracted 5 from both sides of the inequality to isolate the y variable. By doing this, I ensure that the inequality remains true. Remember, when you perform any operation (such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division) on one side of the inequality, you must also perform the same operation on the other side. This helps to maintain the balance and validity of the inequality.
