I just need to know what the solution set of 'y - 6 >/= 12' is since it's kind of confusing to me. (I already know the inequality but I just don't really get the idea of solution sets, if you could try to tell me the general idea as well then that would also be really helpful ^^)

Answer 1

y - 6 >= 12
add 6 to both sides, and you get
y >= 18

That means the solution set is all numbers at least 18.
The solution set to any equation or inequality is the set of numbers which make the assertion true.

in this case, if y is any number 18 or greater, y-6 >= 12
To graph the solution set, draw the number line, place a solid dot at 18, and shade everything to the right.

Thank you!
