Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

3b + 12 > 27 - 2b

Step 2: Solve for b

1. Add 2b on both sides:                    5b + 12 > 27
2. Subtract 12 on both sides:              5b > 15
3. Divide 5 on both sides:                   b > 3

Here we see that any value b greater than 3 would work as a solution to the inequality.
