Question

for each value of y, determine whether it is a solution to y ≥ 9.

y	is it a solution?
9	∘	∘
4	∘	∘
12	∘	∘

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze \( y = 11 \)

Check if \( 11\geq9 \). Since \( 11 > 9 \), it satisfies \( y\geq9 \). So mark "Yes".

Step2: Analyze \( y = 9 \)

Check if \( 9\geq9 \). Since \( 9 = 9 \), it satisfies \( y\geq9 \). So mark "Yes".

Step3: Analyze \( y = 4 \)

Check if \( 4\geq9 \). Since \( 4 < 9 \), it does not satisfy \( y\geq9 \). So mark "No".

Step4: Analyze \( y = 12 \)

Check if \( 12\geq9 \). Since \( 12 > 9 \), it satisfies \( y\geq9 \). So mark "Yes".

Answer:

For \( y = 11 \): Yes
For \( y = 9 \): Yes
For \( y = 4 \): No
For \( y = 12 \): Yes
