Find the solutions of the inequality. Show your work. 4b – 3 > –1 could someone please help me undertand this?

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

since -3 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the rightof the inequality by adding 3 to both sides 4b>3-1

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

what do we do next?

OpenStudy (kimjafo):

I am not sure. I dont rememeber much from this lesson.

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

4b>3-1 what do you do with the 3

OpenStudy (kimjafo):

Add to both sides?

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

no you subtract 3-1 what is left

OpenStudy (kimjafo):

oh, 2

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

so 4b>2 is left

OpenStudy (kimjafo):

So, that would be the answer?

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

then we divide each term in the inequality by 4 4b/4>2/4 cancel 4 in the munerator and denominator and we are left with b>2/4 what do we do next?

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

@KimJaFo we not done lol

OpenStudy (kimjafo):

divide 2/4?

OpenStudy (kimjafo):

2

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

then we Cancel 2 in the numerator and denominator. so the answer is?????

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

noooo this is left b>2/4 we cancel 2 in the NUM and DEN what do we get :D

OpenStudy (kimjafo):

I have no idea

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

Factor 2 out of 2. b>2⋅1/4

OpenStudy (kimjafo):

So its 1/4?

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

Cancel 2 in the numerator and denominator. and get b>1/2

OpenStudy (kimjafo):

Oh, thank you

jagr2713 (jagr2713):
