6

Answer 1

To solve the inequality and describe the solution set, we need to isolate the variable y on one side of the inequality sign.

Starting with:

y - 6 ≥ 12

Add 6 to both sides:

y - 6 + 6 ≥ 12 + 6

Simplify:

y ≥ 18

The solution set is all values of y that are greater than or equal to 18. We can represent this as:

{y | y ≥ 18} or [18, ∞)
