2b - 1 < 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.. fine he did the first step... now can you solve?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you have to do to both sides of the equation first to get "b" by itself?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok green.. take it from here!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well first you have to ADD 1 to both sides, because you have a -1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 2b < 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now we have to divide 2 to both sides to get "b" by itself. So what's 4 / 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4➗2=2 😝😝😝😝

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so you have b < 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
