Answer: B. -4 < y < -1

Explanation:

1. Subtract 2 from all three sides to isolate the variable in the center of the inequality

5 < 2 - 3y < 14

3 < -3y < 12

2. Divide each of the three sides by -3 to get y by itself, as each of the answers have y as independent.

3 < -3y < 12

-1, y, -4

3. Rearrange

-4 < y < -1 (b)
