Procedure for Verifying Safety Compliance Ratios

A safety compliance officer uses the inequality y>x+4y > x + 4 to ensure that the number of emergency response team members (yy) is strictly more than 4 greater than the number of hazardous material zones (xx). Describe the step-by-step procedure the officer must recall to determine if a specific facility's data, represented by the ordered pair (x,y)(x, y), is a valid solution to this inequality. In your description, specify which coordinate is substituted for each variable and how the officer should interpret a final numerical statement where both sides are equal (such as $10 > 10$).
