Hey there!
<h3>"Expanded form" is basically, setting it up in a addition form to give you that result</h3>

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Basically, this problem is saying that if you multiply x by 3, then you will get a number that is one less than y. So, if you switch that around a bit, then the problem is saying that if you subtract 3x from y, you'll get 1.
Your final answer should be y - 3x = 1.
There should be no problem in finding the value of the unknown variable "b" in the equation given in the question.The equation is solvable for finding the value of "b" because it is the only unknown variable in the single equation that is given in the question.
45 = 3b + 69
Let us reverse both sides of the equation first. then, we get
3b + 69 = 45
3b = 45 - 69
3b = - 24
b = - (24/3)
= - 8
So from the above deduction, we can easily conclude that the value of b in the given equation is -8.
Answer: 
Explanation:
Follow PEMDAS in reverse to undo what's happening to x.
We first add 1 to both sides, then divide both sides by 5 to fully isolate x.
Refer to the steps below to see what I mean.

The inequality sign stays the same the entire time. The only time it flips is when you divide both sides by a negative number.
The solution set for x is anything -3 or larger.
If x was an integer, then we could say the solution set is {-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...}
