To solve the inequality \( 6y - 4 > 8 \), we can follow these steps:
-
Add 4 to both sides of the inequality:
\[ 6y - 4 + 4 > 8 + 4 \] This simplifies to:
\[ 6y > 12 \] -
Divide both sides by 6:
\[ \frac{6y}{6} > \frac{12}{6} \] This simplifies to:
\[ y > 2 \]
So the solution to the inequality \( 6y - 4 > 8 \) is \( y > 2 \).
Set Notation
In set notation, this can be expressed as:
\[
{ y \in \mathbb{R} \mid y > 2 }
\]
This means "the set of all real numbers \( y \) such that \( y \) is greater than 2."
