I'm assuming that you want to solve for "y"




2x-3y%3E9 Start with the given inequality.


-3y%3E9-2x Subtract 2x from both sides.


y%3C%289-2x%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.


y%3C%289%29%2F%28-3%29-%282x%29%2F%28-3%29 Break up the fraction


y%3C-3%2B%282%2F3%29x Reduce


y%3C%282%2F3%29x-3 Rearrange the terms


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the answer is y%3C%282%2F3%29x-3
