Question

Solve this inequality: 3b – 7 < 32

A. b < 8.33
B. b < 39
C. b < 5
D. b < 13

Answer 1

I'd prefer to walk you through the solution of this problem. First, please add 7 to both sides of the inequality. Can you explain why this is necessary?

Answer 2

to break down the problem

Answer 3

3b – 7 < 32
Add 7 to both sides
32+7=?

Answer 4

13 is the answer

Answer 5

How did you get that? Show me the steps

Answer 6

"break down the problem?" I'd suggest you're trying to SIMPLIFY the problem.

Answer 7

3b - 7 < 32
3b < 32 + 7
3b < 39
b < 39/3
b < 13

Answer 8

Well done :)

Answer 9

Please note that "13" alone is not sufficient as an answer. You need to write an inequality to answer this problem. Which of the four choices is the correct inequality?
