y-9 >2y-4

4-9 >2(4)-4

-5 > 4 ... FALSE
-------------------------------------------------------
y-9 >2y-4

-10-9 >2(-10)-4

-19 > -24 ... TRUE

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

y-9 >2y-4

-15-9 >2(-15)-4

-24 > -34 ... TRUE

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

y-9 >2y-4

-2-9 >2(-2)-4

-11 > -8 ... FALSE

=======================================================

So the solutions are -10 and -15
