First add the 5 over.
3(b-5)<-2b
3b<-2b+5
Add the 2b over.
5b<5
Divide by 5.
b<1
Check by plugging in.
3(1-5)<-2(1)
3(-4)<-2
-12<-2
1 is a possibly solution to the inequality.

Answer:

b < 3

Explanation:

3 ( b - 5 ) < - 2b

3 ( b ) - 3 ( 5 ) < - 2b

3b - 15 < - 2b

3b + 2b < 15

5b < 15

b < 15/5

b < 3
