Explanation:

-2y+4>10

subtract 4 from both sides

-2y+4-4>10-4

-2y>6

divide both sides by two

-2/2y>6/2

-1y>3

if negative y is greater than three than you have to multiply both sides of the equation by -1

y>-3 if you put that back into the earlier equation it is impossible.

so we have to switch the signs to < or less than

y<-3

Hope that helps:)
