y > 3
Treat the greater than sign [a bit] like an equals sign to solve:
4y - 3 > 9
⇒ 4y > 12 [add 3 to each side]
⇒ y > 3 [divide each side by 4]

6-2x-8+3+12x+4y 10x+4y+1 Note that - -3 = +3 and that - -4y = +4y
An equation.So, for example, all of the following are equations:2 = 22 + 3 = 52x + 3 = 4y - 7For comparison, if the statement contains a less-than or greater-than symbol, it is an inequality, even if it also has an equals sign. Here are some examples:2 + 3 < 72x >= 3y
greater as the absolute value of -3 is 3
x + 5 > 10 and x -2 < 1 This results in x > 5 and x < 3 There is no number that is both greater than 5 and less than 3, therefore there is no solution. The thing above is wrong that would make it an "or" statement.
