1. **State the problem:** Solve the inequality $4x + 4y \le 24$ for $y$ in terms of $x$.
2. **Rewrite the inequality:** We want to isolate $y$ on one side.
$$4x + 4y \le 24$$
3. **Subtract $4x$ from both sides:**
$$\cancel{4x} + 4y - \cancel{4x} \le 24 - 4x$$
which simplifies to
$$4y \le 24 - 4x$$
4. **Divide both sides by 4:**
$$\frac{4y}{\cancel{4}} \le \frac{24 - 4x}{\cancel{4}}$$
which simplifies to
$$y \le 6 - x$$
5. **Interpretation:** The inequality $y \le 6 - x$ represents all points $(x,y)$ on or below the line $y = 6 - x$.
**Final answer:**
$$y \le 6 - x$$
