Answer:

10b - 4 > 1.5 or 10b > 5.5

Explanation:

Next time, please share the answer options. Thank you.

We must follow order of operations rules: "4 subtracted from 10 times b" comes out to 10b - 4.

This result is greater than 1.5: 10b - 4 > 1.5.

We weren't asked to solve this inequality, but if we wish to do so:

Add 4 to both sides, obtaining 10b > 5.5.
