Step 1:
Write the equation
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2\text{ - (y + 9) < -3} \\ 2\text{ - y - 9 < - 3} \\ -y\text{ < - 3 - 2 + 9} \\ \text{ - y < 4} \\ y\text{ > -4} \end{gathered}[/tex]Final answer
y > -4
In set-builder notations the solution set is
{y | y > -4}
In interval notation, the solution set is
[tex]\lbrack-3,\text{ }\infty)[/tex]
