Solve the inequality: ⅓b≤8 Would it be ⅓≤8b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you want to solve it for b not for 1/3,so multiply the inequality by 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So multiply both 1/3 and 8 by 3?

hartnn (hartnn):

yup,go ahead,do that...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, so 1 and 24. 1≤24b?

hartnn (hartnn):

but the original equation was (1/3)b<=8 u multiplied 3 to ⅓≤8b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh! Whoops. So 1b≤24?

hartnn (hartnn):

right,u got it now....that would be b≤24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, awesome! Thanks so much. Maybe I can do it on my own next time. Thanks!

hartnn (hartnn):
