|2y - 1| >= 2

Case 1: 2y - 1 >= 2
2y >= 3
y >= 3/2

Case 2: -2y + 1 >= 2
-2y >= 1
y <= -1/2

-1..........-1/2..........0..........1/2..........1..........3/2..........2

            The solution by  @Penguin is  INCORRECT.

            I came to bring you a correct solution.


You start with this inequality


    3 + |2y-1| >= 1.


Next you subtract the number 3 from both sides.


    |2y-1| >= 1 - 3,

or

    |2y-1| >= -2.


But the absolute value is ALWAYS NON-NEGATIVE number,

so the last inequality is valid FOR ANY VALUE of y.



ANSWER.  The solution set is the ENTIRE NUMBER LINE from -oo to oo.

Solved, answered, explained and completed.
