Which of the following is a solution to the inequality below? y ≥ 10 Choices: (A)y = 5 (B)y = 6 (C)y = 2 (D)y = 11

Understand the inequality: Understand the inequality y ≥ 10. This inequality means that y must be greater than or equal to 10.Evaluate choices: Evaluate each choice to see if it satisfies the inequality. Start with choice (A) y = 5. Check if 5 ≥ 10.Check choice (A): Since 5 is not greater than or equal to 10, choice (A) is not a solution to the inequality.Check choice (B): Move on to choice (B) y = 6. Check if 6 ≥ 10.Check choice (C): Since 6 is not greater than or equal to 10, choice (B) is not a solution to the inequality.Check choice (D): Move on to choice (C) y = 2. Check if 2 ≥ 10.Since 2 is not greater than or equal to 10, choice (C) is not a solution to the inequality.Move on to choice (D) y = 11. Check if 11 ≥ 10.Since 11 is greater than or equal to 10, choice (D) is a solution to the inequality.

Q. Which of the following is a solution to the inequality below?

\newline

y \geq 10

\newline

Choices:

\newline

(A)

y = 5

\newline

(B)

y = 6

\newline

(C)

y = 2

\newline

(D)

y = 11

Understand the inequality: Understand the inequality $y \geq 10$ . This inequality means that $y$ must be greater than or equal to $10$ .
Evaluate choices: Evaluate each choice to see if it satisfies the inequality. $\newline$ Start with choice (A) $y = 5$ . $\newline$ Check if $5 \geq 10$ .
Check choice (A): Since $5$ is not greater than or equal to $10$ , choice (A) is not a solution to the inequality.
Check choice (B): Move on to choice (B) $y = 6$ . Check if $6 \geq 10$ .
Check choice (C): Since $6$ is not greater than or equal to $10$ , choice (B) is not a solution to the inequality.
Check choice (D): Move on to choice (C) $y = 2$ . $\newline$ Check if $2 \geq 10$ .
Check choice (D): Move on to choice (C) $y = 2$ . Check if $2 \geq 10$ . Since $2$ is not greater than or equal to $10$ , choice (C) is not a solution to the inequality.
Check choice (D): Move on to choice (C) $y = 2$ . Check if $2 \geq 10$ .Since $2$ is not greater than or equal to $10$ , choice (C) is not a solution to the inequality.Move on to choice (D) $y = 11$ . Check if $11 \geq 10$ .
Check choice (D): Move on to choice (C) $y = 2$ . Check if $2 \geq 10$ . Since $2$ is not greater than or equal to $10$ , choice (C) is not a solution to the inequality. Move on to choice (D) $y = 11$ . Check if $11 \geq 10$ . Since $11$ is greater than or equal to $10$ , choice (D) is a solution to the inequality.
