Question

Solve using the addition and multiplication principles.
-$12 y-5 \geq 11 y-2$
A) $\{y \mid y<12\}$
B) $\{y \mid y>12\}$
C) $\{y \mid y \leq 3\}$
D) $\{y \mid y \geq 3\}$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve the inequality $12y - 5 \geq 11y - 2$, we first subtract $11y$ from both sides to get $y - 5 \geq -2$. Then, we add $5$ to both sides to isolate $y$, resulting in $y \geq 3$. This corresponds to choice D, $\{y \mid y \geq 3\}$.
