If $abc=1$ and $a,b,c$ are positive real numbers, prove that ${1 \over a+b+1} + {1 \over b+c+1} + {1 \over c+a+1} \le 1$.

let $$a=x^3,b=y^3,c=z^3\Longrightarrow xyz=1$$ since $$y^3+z^3\ge y^2z+yz^2$$ so $$\dfrac{1}{1+b+c}=\dfrac{xyz}{xyz+y^3+z^3}\le\dfrac{xyz}{xyz+y^2z+yz^2}=\dfrac{x}{x+y+z}$$ so $$\sum_{cyc}\dfrac{1}{1+b+c}\le\sum_{cyc}\dfrac{x}{x+y+z}=1$$


This answer only assumes that $abc\geq 1$. Make the following substitution $$\sqrt[3]{a}=x,\sqrt[3]{b}=y,\sqrt[3]{c}=z$$ then we have $xyz\geq1$ and we have to prove the following inequality now

$$\frac{1}{1+x^3+y^3}+\frac{1}{1+y^3+z^3}+\frac{1}{1+z^3+x^3} \leq 1 $$

Clearly $$(x^3+y^3)=(x+y)(x^2-xy+y^2)\overset{\text{AM-GM}}{\geq}(x+y)xy$$

We have the following chain of inequalities

$$\frac{1}{1+x^3+y^3}+\frac{1}{1+y^3+z^3}+\frac{1}{1+z^3+x^3} \leq \frac{1}{1+xy(x+y)}+\frac{1}{1+xz(x+z)}+\frac{1}{1+yz(z+y)} \\ \leq \frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{z}(x+y)}+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{y}(x+z)}+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{x}(z+y)}=1$$


For my earlier comment: By expanding everything I mean, you can clear the denominator, write down everything in terms of symmetric polynomials, and try to use AM-GM to compare them.

On the other hand, there is also a one liner, similar to math110's solution:

$$\frac{1}{a+b+1} \leq \frac{2c+ab}{2(a+b+c)+ab+bc+ca}$$

After clearing the denominator, this is equivalent to $(c-1)^2(a+b) \ge 0$.
