Answer

(a) $ 5\gt 4$ (b) $ -3 \gt -4$ (c) $6\gt 3$ (d) $ -4\lt-2$

Work Step by Step

Since $2\gt1$, then; (a) Adding $3$ to each side of the given inequality; $$3+2\gt1+3\Longrightarrow 5\gt 4$$ (b) Subtracting $5$ from each side of the given inequality; $$3-5\gt1-5\Longrightarrow -3 \gt -4$$ (c) Multiplying each side of the given inequality by $3$; $$3\times2\gt1\times3\Longrightarrow 6\gt 3$$ (d) Multiplying each side of the given inequality by $- 2$; $$-2\times2\lt -2\times1\Longrightarrow -4\lt-2$$ (Note that the inequality symbol will change because a negative number was multiplied to both sides.)
