2y-9%3E5y%2B12 Start with the given inequality.


2y%3E5y%2B12%2B9 Add 9 to both sides.


2y-5y%3E12%2B9 Subtract 5y from both sides.


-3y%3E12%2B9 Combine like terms on the left side.


-3y%3E21 Combine like terms on the right side.


y%3C%2821%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-7 Reduce.
