Is y = 5 a solution to the inequality below?

Question

y ≤ 12

Answer 1

SOLUTION:- Given inequality is

y ≤ 12

Then we have to determine whether y = 5 is a solution to the given inequality,

For this, substitute y = 5 into the inequality and check if it satisfies the condition,

Given inequality

y ≤ 12

Then substitute y = 5 in the given inequality

So

5 ≤ 12

Since here we can see that 5 is less than 12

So this statement is true

So we can say that 5 satisfies the given inequality y ≤ 12

Hence y = 5 is the valid solution for the given inequality.
