Answer:

y < 3/2x - 5/2 or y < 3/2 x - 2.5

Explanation:

3x -2y > 5

Solve for y

3x - 2y > 5 when solving a problem with an inequality sign, rewrite the problem and solve with an equal sign and add the equality at the end.

3x - 2y = 5

-2y = -3x + 5

y = -3/-2x+ 5/-2

y = 3/2x - 2 1/2

Now if you have to use the inequality sign, you will use < because the y term was negative and that will change the direction of the inequality sign.

So y < 3/2x - 5/2 or y < 3/2 x - 2.5
