Answer:
b = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
You can start with either inequality, then add the required amount to make it look like the other one.
___
<em>Starting with x > -21</em>
x > -21
x + 7 > -14 . . . . . add 7 to both sides
b = 7 . . . . . . . . . compare to the form x + b > -14
___
<em>Starting with x + b > -14</em>
x + b > -14
x + b -7 > -21 . . . add -7 to both sides
b -7 = 0 . . . . . . compare to the form x > -21. 0 is added to x.
b = 7 . . . . . . . . add 7 to both sides
