You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Can you factorize and find the two critical y values?

%282y-3%29%28y%2B1%29%3E0, and now merely identify the critical values, which are 3/2 and -1.

If you are not yet familiar with any conic sections graphs and equations, then your task is to check the intervals -infinity%3Cy%3C-1, -1%3Cy%3C3%2F2, and 3%2F2%3Cy%3Cinfinity to determine where y satisfies the inequality.

The solution set for y WILL BE (-infinity, -1) and ( 3/2, infinity).
