Transcript text: Solve the inequality.
\[
-8 \leq 8+y
\]
The solution is $\square$
Graph the solution.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Subtract 8 from both sides
To isolate the variable \(y\), subtract 8 from both sides of the inequality:
\[-8 - 8 \leq 8 + y - 8\]
\[-16 \leq y\]
Step 2: Rewrite the inequality
The inequality \(-16 \leq y\) can be rewritten as \(y \geq -16\).
Step 3: Graph the solution
The solution \(y \geq -16\) represents all values of \(y\) that are greater than or equal to -16. On the number line, this is represented by a closed circle at -16 (because -16 is included in the solution) and an arrow pointing towards positive infinity (to the right).
Final Answer
The solution is \( \boxed{y \geq -16} \). The graph starts with a closed circle at -16 on the number line and extends to the right.
