3x-y-2%3C-2%2B2y Start with the given inequality.


-y-2%3C-2%2B2y-3x Subtract 3x from both sides.


-y%3C-2%2B2y-3x%2B2 Add 2 to both sides.


-y-2y%3C-2-3x%2B2 Subtract 2y from both sides.


-3y%3C-2-3x%2B2 Combine like terms on the left side.


-3y%3C-3x Combine like terms on the right side.


y%3E%28-3x%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate y. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.
