<span>The word decreased by means subtract.
So...
Lets look at A.
A: a-b
Sound correct?
No,
Because the sentence said that "a is decreased by the number b."
Lets look at B.
B. b-a
Sound correct?
Yes,
Because a is getting decreased by b.
Your answer is, B.

Answer: addition property of inequality</h3>
================================================
Explanation:
These are the steps to focus on
step 3: -6x - 8 < -2
step 4: -6x < 6
The move from the third step to the fourth step has us adding 8 to both sides. Therefore, we use the addition property of inequality.
That property has four forms
- If
then 
- If
then 
- If
then 
- If
then 
It's similar to the idea of starting with a = b, then adding c to both sides to get a+c = b+c
We add the same thing to both sides to keep things balanced.
The 3 inside angles of a triangle equal 180.
Add the 3 angles together to equal 180:
X + (5x-20) + 4x = 180
Simplify the left side by adding like terms:
10x-20 = 180
Add 20 to each side:
10x = 200
Divide both sides by 10:
x = 20
Angle A = x = 20
Angle B = 4X = 4(20) = 80
Angle C = 5x-20 = 5(20) -20 = 100-20 = 80
