Let's Check Our Answer!
We can check our solution by substituting a few values into the given inequality. The value satisfies the inequality if the inequality remains true after substituting and simplifying.
y
y + 6 ≥ - 13

True or False?
- 20
- 20 + 6 ≥ - 13
- 14 ≱ - 13
False
- 19
- 19 + 6 ≥ - 13
- 13 ≥ - 13
True
- 18
- 18 + 6 ≥ - 13
- 12 ≥ - 13
True
We can conclude that as long as y is greater than or equal to - 19, the inequality is satisfied.
