Answer:
Yes it is, because...
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an inequality, so you can treat it as an algebraic expression.
The first step is to multiple both sides by 2, to get rid of the 2 on the left side.
Your equation will now look like this:
y >= 2y - 22
The next step is to get all the y variables to one side, now that its a lot more simplified. Subtract 2y from both sides to get:
-y >= -22
Finally, cancel out the negative on both sides of the equation to get the y as a positive y, all by itself. This will get you:
y <= 22
REMINDER: when you divide by a negative number, such as in this case dividing by -1 on both sides, the inequality sign will flip!
y = 18 works because it is less than 22. (:
