Question 23356: whats the answer please?
2y-4_>12

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2y-4%3E=12

Add +4 to each side:
2y+%3E=+16

Divide by 2:
y+%3E=+8

Locate 8 on the right side of the numberline, and the solution is all values to the right of the 8 and INCLUDING the 8. You can indicate this either by drawing a SOLID circle on 8 and shade to the right of 8 with an arrow on the end of the line to indicate that it continues forever. Also, instead of the solid circle, in higher math, you would place a BRACKET [ on the 8, and opening to the right, and shade to the right.
