oh ok thank you
OpenStudy (squirrels):
Anyways how to find the equality. What you wanna do is find 'b'. So lets try to isolate b.
\[4b-3>-1\]
Now to isolate 'b' lets add 3 to both sides. \[4b>2\]
OpenStudy (squirrels):
3 gets canceled out, leaving us with that equation.
Do you know what to do now?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
not really

yes
its inequality
OpenStudy (squirrels):
\[4b>2\]Now we divide 4 to both sides, to get 'b' by itself. That way we'd get the answer.
\[b=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } or .5\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what do i divide 4 too
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i have to show my work
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry still confused can you start from the beginning please

You divide 4 to both sides of the equation.
\[\frac{ 4b }{ 4 }>\frac{ 2 }{ 4 }\] \[b=.5\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
alright i get that but how do i break down 4b-3>-1
I have to show all the work
OpenStudy (squirrels):
you add 3 from both sides of the equation
OpenStudy (squirrels):
\[4b-3+3>-1+3\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4b-3>-1
+3 +3
6 2

No -3+3=0 making that cancel out
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-1+3 +2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-1+3=2
OpenStudy (squirrels):
Yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now what
