Answer:

y>5/3x+5

Explanation:

You want to treat this inequality as if it were a regular equation to solve for y or x.

First you want to get y by itself by getting rid of -5x. Add 5x on both sides of the inequality to then get 3y>5x+15. Lastly, divide on both sides of the inequality by three to isolate y and you then get the inequality y>5/3x+5
