y%2F4+%3E+3-1%2F2
y%2F4+%3E+7%2F2
Multiply both sides by 4: y+%3E+%284%29%287%2F2%29
y+%3E+28%2F2
y+%3E+14
Set-builder notation: {y: y > 14} (Read: "the set of all y such that y is greater than 14")
To help you get the idea, here are some other examples of set-builder notation:
{x: x+%3C=+-7}
{a: a < 92}
Set-builder notation is defined as "A notation used in describing a set. For example, {x: x , 5} is written in set-builder notation."
