Since y2+y+1 is always positive, we can divide by this quantity on both sides to get the inequality
x2 - 5x + 3 < 2y/(y2+y+1) or equivalently x2 - 5x + 3 < 2/(y+1/y+1)
When y is non-negative, min val of RHS is zero.
If y<0 then y + 1/y <=-2 so, y+1/y+1 <=-1 and hence RHS >=-2.
Hence we need x2 - 5x + 3<-2 or x2 - 5x + 5<0 which is easy to solve
