Question 1

Answer 1

Answer:

Least possible value of b is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that $7b-8>4b+16$ and b is an odd integer.

We need to find the least possible value of b.

We have,

$7b-8>4b+16$

Isolate variable terms.

$7b-4b>8+16$

$3b>24$

Divide both sides by 3.

$b>8$

Since b>8 and b an odd integer, therefore the possible values of b are 9, 11, 13, 15, ... .

Hence, the least possible value of b is 9.
