"-y (less than or greater than sign) 136" translates into two separate inequalities:


-y < 136 and -y > 136.


You want to solve for y in each case. To do this, multiply each inequality by "-1" and then immediately change the direction of the inequality sign.


For example: -1(-y < 136) => y > -136.
