Using the example that you provide it.
Do the same thing as if you there was an equal sigh instead of a greater than sign.
So first you have too divide each side by 2 on the problem. 2y = 14
2 = 2
y = 7
y > 7
So that is how you solve that problem. So you can use the equal sign as a replacement.
Some correct me if i am wrong plz.
