7-y%3E5-y Start with the given inequality.


-y%3E5-y-7 Subtract 7 from both sides.


-y%2By%3E5-7 Add y to both sides.


0y%3E5-7 Combine like terms on the left side.


0y%3E-2 Combine like terms on the right side.


0%3E-2 Simplify.


Since the inequality above is ALWAYS true, this means that there are an infinite number of solutions.
