Answer: y > 50 years.

Explanation:

Let's describe how to use the inequality symbols.

a < b (a is smaller than b)

a > b (a is larger than b)

a ≤ b (a is smaller than or equal to b)

a ≥ b (a is larger than or equal to b)

In this case, y represents your age, and you need to be more than 50 years old to receive a discount.

Then we must have "y is larger than 50 years"

This is written as:

y > 50 years.
