The number of books that can be shelved is 45. So then we know that the amount that need to be shelved <em>can</em> be 45, if the bookshelf had 0 books on it. This means that it can have the equal part of the inequality sign.
However, the amount of book that need to be shelved cannot <em>exceed</em> 45, so b must be less than 45.
Therefore, the answer must be D) b ≤ 45.
Answer:
Add 4 on both sides.
In the equation there is a -4.
If -4+4=0, that is how you would get rid of the -4.
But, you need to add 4 to 29 to really get rid of the -4.
So, 29+4 is 33.
b=33
