The expression inside the absolute value symbols is either non-negative or negative. Solve for each case and put them together how makes sense.

Expression is positive or zero:
3y%2B4%3E0
3y%3E-4
y%3E-4%2F3

Expression is negative:
-3y-4%3E0
3y%2B4%3C0
3y%3C-4
y%3C-4%2F3

The ONLY value which will not satisfy the inequality is the critical value, -4%2F3. ALL other real values will work as solutions. Also think about the meaning of absolute value: NO absolute value is ever negative. abs%28IAmAlwaysPositiveOrZero%29%3E=0.
