absolute value of 7-3y divided by 2 < 1
|(7-3y)/2|<1
Solve for 2 conditions:
(7-3y)/2<1
multiply both sides by 2
7-3y<2
add -7
-3y<-5
divide by -3 and reverse inequality sign
y>5/3
or
-(7-3y)/2<1
multiply both sides by 2
-7+3y<2
add 7
3y<9
y<3
number line
<.......5/3<===>3..........>
solution: (5/3,3)
