2(b – 8) < 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

distribute?

sam (.sam.):

That will work, but you can divide both sides by 2 as well

sam (.sam.):

That will give b-8=<6 Then add 8 to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so b=<14

sam (.sam.):

Yes but ignore that equal sign, I did it by mistake, you will have b<14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you i suck at these

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 + 10w ≥ 8(w +12)

sam (.sam.):

Do more and you will be fine :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i have to combine like terms?

sam (.sam.):

I recommend distribute for that

sam (.sam.):

12 + 10w ≥ 8(w +12) 12 + 10w ≥ 8w +96 Subtract 8w to both sides 12 + 2w ≥ 96 Subtract 12 to both sides 2w ≥ 84 Divide 2 to both sides then you will get your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so w≥42

sam (.sam.):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sam (.sam.):
