1. The problem is to solve the inequality $y > 3$. 2. This inequality means we are looking for all values of $y$ that are strictly greater than 3. 3. There is no equation to solve here, just a condition on $y$. 4. The solution set is all real numbers $y$ such that $y$ is greater than 3. 5. In interval notation, this is written as $(3, \infty)$. 6. Graphically, this represents all points above the horizontal line $y=3$ on the coordinate plane. Final answer: $y > 3$ or $y \in (3, \infty)$.
