Solve for b 2/7>b+5/7

$\frac{2}{7} > b + \frac{5}{7}$

Rewrite so $b$ is on the left side of the inequality.

$b + \frac{5}{7} < \frac{2}{7}$

Move all terms not containing $b$ to the right side of the inequality.

Subtract $\frac{5}{7}$ from both sides of the inequality.

$b < \frac{2}{7} - \frac{5}{7}$

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$b < \frac{2 - 5}{7}$

Subtract $5$ from $2$ .

$b < \frac{- 3}{7}$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$b < - \frac{3}{7}$

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Inequality Form:
