Answer:
y < 9
Explanation:
y - 2 < 7
This is a one-step inequality. You have y - 2 on the left side. You want y alone on the left side. If you add 2 to the left side, you eliminate the -2. You must do the same operation to both sides of an inequality, so add 2 to both sides of the inequality to eliminate the -2 on the left side.
y - 2 + 2 < 7 + 2
y < 9
Answer: y < 9
