y + 3 1/4 < 9
To solve the inequality, we need to isolate y on one side of the inequality sign.
Subtracting 3 1/4 from both sides of the inequality, we get:
y + 3 1/4 - 3 1/4 < 9 - 3 1/4
Simplifying both sides, we have:
y < 9 - 3 1/4
Combining the terms on the right side, we get:
y < 5 3/4
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is y < 5 3/4.
