So let's assume that: $b\geq 1$ then we have: \[ ab+1 \geq a+b\]meaning that: \[ 2ab-a-b \geq a+b-2\]So it is enough to prove that: \[ (a+b-2)^2 \geq (a-1)(b-1)\]which is true because: \[ (a+b-2)^2 = (a-1+b-1)^2 \geq 4(a-1)(b-1) \geq (a-1)(b-1)\]Done.

Let $a,b,c$ nonnegative real numbers satisfy $a+b+c=ab+bc+ca.$ Prove that $$\frac{7}{5}\geq \frac{1}{2a+1}+\frac{1}{2b+1}+\frac{1}{2c+1}\geq 1.$$
