Start with the given inequality:



Set up a number line:
note: just replace the x with the variable you are working with


Now plot the point y=3 on the number line





Now pick any test point you want, I'm going to choose y=0, and test the inequality


Plug in


Since this inequality is not true, we simply shade the entire portion that does not contain the point y=0 using the point y=3 as the boundary. This means we shade everything to the right of the point y=3 like this:
Graph of with the shaded region in blue
note: at the point y=3, there is an open circle. This means the point y=3 is excluded from the solution set.
