Recalling the Substitution Procedure for Inequalities

A department head uses the inequality y>x+4y > x + 4 to ensure that the number of available workstations (yy) is strictly more than 4 greater than the number of employees (xx). To recall the first step in verifying if a department with 15 employees and 18 workstations—represented by the ordered pair $$(15, 18)$$$—is a solution, provide the specific numerical statement that results immediately after substituting these coordinates into the inequality.
