Answer:

No, for this to be true B would need to equal 5.

Explanation:

We need to plug in 7 for B, which is 13 > 7 + 7. Once we follow order of operations, we see that this is 13 > 14, which is not true. In order to have less than 13, we need the smaller side to equal 12. 14-2 is 12, so we subtract 2 from 7 and get 5.
