PLEASE HELP ME IM SO CONFUSED Solve the inequality. show your work. -6b>42 or 4b> -4 im completely clueless

Directrix (directrix):

Let me look at it for a moment.

Directrix (directrix):

Okay. Work these separately and then get the union. -6b>42 or 4b> -4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know the first thing about these

Directrix (directrix):

-6b > 42 Dividing both sides by -6, then you get b < - 7. The greater than symbol becomes a less than symbol because both sides of the inequality were divided by a negative number. (The order of the inequality reverses.)

can you show me the exact way please this is my last question and i really hate these things

Directrix (directrix):

For this, 4b> -4, divide both sides by 4 to get b > -1. So the combined answer is b < -7, b > -1 ---> I don't know how that appears in your answer options. There are several ways to write it. If you can post your answer options, I can help you figure out which one is the correct option.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont have options

Directrix (directrix):

Because of the "or," this is a union of two sets problem. I think I might write the answer as { b < -7 or b > -1 }

thank you

Directrix (directrix):
