Hi there!

We're asked to solve the inequality:


\sf{5y-13 < 5(y+3)}

First, distribute 5:


\sf{5y-13 < 5y+15}

Next, add 13 to both sides


\sf{5y < 5y+15+13}


\sf{5y < 5y+28}

Subtract 5y from both sides:


\sf{0y < 28}


\sf{0 < 28}

Since 0 really is less than x, this inequality has infinite solutions.
