The first step for solving this inequality is to move the constant to the right side by adding its opposites to both sides. This will look like the following: y - 6 + 6 ≥ 12 + 6 Eliminate the opposites on the left side. y ≥ 12 + 6 Lastly,, add the numbers on the right side together to get your final answer. y ≥ 18 Let me know if you have any further questions. :)
