Answer:

y> 7/3

Answer 2

Answer:

$y>\frac{7}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving an inequality is a lot like solving an equation, one uses inverse operations. The major difference between solving an inequality and an equation is that when one multiplies or divides by a negative number, then one must remember to flip the inequality sign, such a rule doesn't come into play in this case.

3y - 2 > 5

Inverse operations,

3y - 2 > 5

     +2    +2

3y > 7

/3   /3

$y>\frac{7}{3}$
