See solution below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 5x - 7 ≤ -2

collect like terms:

5x ≤ -2 + 7

5x ≤ 5

Divide through by 5:

x ≤ 1

From the graph above, the inequality has a solution.

b) 2/3b > -8


(2)/(3b)>-8

Cross multiply:

2 > -8(3b)

2 > -24b

Divide through by -24:

Note: when we divide an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign changes.

2/-24 < b

-1/ 12 < b

Hence, b > -1/12

Note: To make it easier to graph, I represented b with x

From the graph above, the inequality has a solution.

c) 3w - 7 - w < 2w + 4

2w - 7 < 2w + 4

collect like terms:

2w - 2w < 4 + 7

0 < 11

Note: To make it easier to graph, I represented b with x

From the graph, the solution is for all real numbers.
