Question

Solve the inequality. Show your work.
–6b > 42 or 4b > –4

Answer 1

I'll solve the first one to get you started


–6b > 42

–6b/(-6) < 42/(-6) ... divide both sides by -6, notice the sign will flip

1b < -7

b < -7


and I'll let you solve the other inequality

Answer 2

4b > -4
4b/4 > -4/4 Divide both sides by the constant (4) and keep the sign the same way. *only flip the sign when dividing by a negative number like in the first one*
b > -1

Answer 3

Thanks!
