Solve the inequality for b: -9b ≤ -36

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

just divide by -9 on both sides and SWITCH the sign to >=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

too lazy :c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You want to get b all by itself, and since you have -9 times b, you can get b by itself by dividing both sides by -9. But remember that when you divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative value, you have to switch the greater/less than sign.

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

what is -36/-9 = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

ok so the answer is b >=4
