Question

Which number is a solution of the inequality 8 - 1/4 b > 27?

Answer 1

Answer:

b< -76

Step-by-step explanation:

• 8 - 1/4 b > 27         ⇒ add -8 to both sides
• -1/4b > 27 - 8      
• -1/4 b > 19              ⇒ multiply both sides by -4
• b < - 4*19               ⇒ change inequality sing to opposite due to multiplication to negative number
• b < - 76                  ⇒ answer

Answer is any number smaller than -76
