6%283y-4%29%3E12%2B6y Start with the given inequality.


18y-24%3E12%2B6y Distribute.


18y%3E12%2B6y%2B24 Add 24 to both sides.


18y-6y%3E12%2B24 Subtract 6y from both sides.


12y%3E12%2B24 Combine like terms on the left side.


12y%3E36 Combine like terms on the right side.


y%3E%2836%29%2F%2812%29 Divide both sides by 12 to isolate y.


y%3E3 Reduce.
