Question

The solution of a+b>-4 is a > -9. What is the value of b?

Answer 1

3>b

Explanation:

a+b>-4

a>-9

so a is greater than -9

so which means -7,-8,-6 is greater -9.

-7+b>-4

-7+4>-b

-3>-b

3>b

verification

a+b>-4

Substitute -7 for a

substitute 3 for b

-7+3>-4

the answer will be -4 which is correct.

Answer 2

If the solution of a + b > -4 is a > -9, then the value of b is 5

How to determine the value of b

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

a + b > -4

Also, we have

a > -9

From the expression a + b > -4, we have

a > -4 - b

if a > -4 - b and a > -9, then

-4 - b = -9

Multiply through by -1

4 + b = 9

So, we have

b = 9 - 4

Evaluate

b = 5

Hence, the value of b is 5
