a)
b - 13 < 2b + 10
subtract 2b on both sides
b - 2b -13 < 2b - 2b + 10
-b - 13 < 10
add 13 on both sides
-b < 23
multiply both sides by (-1) [by multiplying by (-1), the inequality sign changes!]
b > -23
_____________
b)
- 5 (x+2) < -2 -5x
-5x -10 < -2 - 5x
add 5x on both sides
-10 < -2
This is trivially true (true for any x, independent of x)
=> all real numbers x are the solution
____________
c)
3x + 3 > -3
subtract 3 on both sides
3x > -6
divide both sides by 3
x > -2
_________
Hope this helps!

First person right gets 10 points!!!?
Can u plz help me w\ solving inequlaities?!?!?!?
a) b-13<2b+10 subtract b+10 from each side
-23
b>-23
b)-5(x+2)<-2-5x distribute -5
-5x-10<-2-5x add 5x to each side
-10<-2 true for all x
c)3x+3>-3 subtract 3 from each side
3x>-6 divide both sides by 3
x>-2

a)
b-13<2b+10 ==> -13 - 10 <2b - b ==> -23
b)
-5(x+2)<-2-5x ==> -5x -10 < -2 -5x ==> -5x +5x <-2+10
==> 0<8
it's obvious
c)
3x+3>-3 ==> 3x>-3-3 ==> 3x > -6 ==> x>-2

M is right, but there is more than one way to do math see below.
a) b-13<2b+10 substract b from both sides
-13
-13 + -10 < b
-23 < b
b)-5(x+2)<-2-5x expand -5(x+2)
-5x-10<-2-5x add 5x to both sides
-10<-2
c)3x+3>-3 subtract 3 from both sides
3x > -6 divide by 3
x> -6/3
x>-2

well, the first and second one i don't get but i can help u with the third one okay so this is how you do the third one
so it is 3x+3>-3
so first u have to get rid 3 so u have 2 subtract 3 from both sides...
so now it's just 3x>-6
now divide both sides by 3
so it's x>-2
