How do you solve the inequality #y-6> -19#?

Answer 1

To solve this add #6# to each side of the inequality.

In order to solve for #y# and isolate the inequality while maintaining balance, add #color(red)(6)# to each side of the inequality in this problem:

Color(red)(6) > -19 + #y - 6 + color(red)(6)#

#y - 0 > -13#

#y > -13#

To solve the inequality ( y - 6 > -19 ), you first add 6 to both sides to isolate ( y ), yielding ( y > -19 + 6 ). Simplifying this, you get ( y > -13 ). So, the solution to the inequality is ( y > -13 ).
