Answer

(a) $ \space 0\gt -2$ (b) $\space -8 \gt -10$ (c) $\space-9\gt -15$ (d) $\space6\lt10$

Work Step by Step

Since $-3\gt -5$, then; (a) Adding $3$ to each side of the given inequality; $$3-3\gt -5+3\Longrightarrow 0\gt -2$$ (b) Subtracting $5$ from each side of the given inequality; $$-3-5\gt -5-5\Longrightarrow -8 \gt -10$$ (c) Multiplying each side of the given inequality by $3$; $$3\times(-3)\gt -5\times3\Longrightarrow -9\gt -15$$ (d) Multiplying each side of the given inequality by - 2; $$-2\times(-3)\lt (-5)\times(-2)\Longrightarrow 6\lt10\\ \text{(The inequality symbol will change since a negative number was multiplied to both sides.)}$$
