Find the solutions of the inequality. 4b – 3 > –1 Where do I start? I know I need to get b by itself so I would...divide 4 by -1? Or?

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

add 3 to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so then I have 7b > 2?

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

\[4b – 3 > –1 \] add 3 -3-1=?

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

its not 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh add -3? So -4?

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

yes :) ok i see u add 3 to the 4 we dont want to do that remeber we are combining like terms

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

so now \[4b > –4\] divide by 4 on both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH! Okay. Sooooo... 1b> -1 ?

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

Well you're on the right track b=1 so just 1 :) b>-1
