Beyond the Answer
First, let's simplify the given inequality step by step. We start with: \[ \frac{2}{3} y - \frac{1}{3} (1 - 2y) \geq y + \left\lvert \frac{1}{3} \right. \] Distributing \(-\frac{1}{3}\) within the parentheses: \[ \frac{2}{3} y - \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{3} y \geq y + \frac{1}{3} \] Combining like terms on the left side gives: \[ \frac{4}{3} y - \frac{1}{3} \geq y + \frac{1}{3} \] Now, we will bring like terms together. Subtract \(y\) from both sides: \[ \frac{4}{3} y - y - \frac{1}{3} \geq \frac{1}{3} \] This can be rewritten as: \[ \frac{4}{3} y - \frac{3}{3} y - \frac{1}{3} \geq \frac{1}{3} \] Simplifying further yields: \[ \frac{1}{3} y - \frac{1}{3} \geq \frac{1}{3} \] Now, add \(\frac{1}{3}\) to both sides: \[ \frac{1}{3} y \geq \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{1}{3} y \geq \frac{2}{3} \] To solve for \(y\), multiply both sides by 3: \[ y \geq 2 \] Now, we can illustrate this on a number line. You would place a closed circle on the number 2 (since it is included in the solution) and shade all the numbers to the right of 2, indicating that \(y\) can be any number greater than or equal to 2. So the solution is \(y \geq 2\) with a visual representation as described.
