Always remember PEMDAS:

P- parenthesis

E- exponents

M- multiply

D- divide

A- add

S- subtract

Remember you do what's in parenthesis first before anything else. But if you can't combine like terms inside the parenthesis, you might have to distribute what number is out in front of the parenthesis.

3x+15=3(x+5) First you distribute the 3. You should get 3x+15=3x+15. The 3x will cancel each other out and so will the 15. So you're answer is undefined.

-13>-5x+2>-28 subtract 2 from all expressions

-15>-5x>-30 divide each expression by -5

Be sure to reverse direction of signs when you divide/multiply by a negative value!

3<x<6

So the "graph" will be a infinitely high plane, or area, contained between the two vertical lines x=3 and x=6
