Question

What are the steps to solving the inequality 3b + 8 ≥ 14

Answer 1

3b+8≥14
Subtract 8 from both sides
3b≥14-8
3b≥6
Divide both sides by 3
b≥6/3
b≥2

Answer 2

Answer:

The solution of the given inequality $3b+8\geq 14$ is: $[2, \infty)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality equation: $3b+8\geq 14$

Subtraction property of equality states that you subtract the same number to both sides of an equation.

Subtract 8 to both sides of an equation.

$3b+8-8\geq 14-8$

Simplify:

$3b\geq 6$

Division property of equality states that you divide the same number to both sides of an equation.

Divide both sides by 3 we get;

$\frac{3b}{3} \geq \frac{6}{3}$

Simplify:

$b\geq 2$

therefore, the solution of the given inequality  is: $b\geq 2$ or $[2, \infty)$
