what is the product of 12 and y is greater than or equal to 60?

Answer 1

I could read it as 12 times the expression y ≥ 60

That would be 12y ≥ 720, which simplifies to y ≥ 60

In other words, multiplying both sides of an inequality by the same number does not change it.

Answer 2

12y≥60

You want to isolate the "y". You do so by moving the 12 to the other side of the inequality.

To move value that is multiplied, you divide.

(12y/y) ≥60/12

Answer 3

Using the word product indicates multiplication. So you would multiply 12 and y. Then you would use the inequality ≥ instead of an equal sign to put in between 12y and 60. Afterwards, you would divide by 12 on both sides.
