Answer:

y < -4/3 or y > 4/3

Explanation:

  • |-6y| -9 > -1
  • Since this is an absolute value inequality, we need two equations to set up to solve for y
  • 1st equation:
  • -6y - 9 > -1
  • 2nd equation:
  • 6y - 9 > -1
  • Solve both equations:
  • -6y-9>-1
  • -6y > 8
  • y < -4/3
  • 6y -9 > -1
  • 6y > 8
  • y > 4/3
