Question

8. Which number is a solution of the

inequality 8-b≥ 27?
A -76
B-80
(C) -86
D-140

Answer 1

All of the options.

Explanation:

We first subtract 8 from both sides. We now divide both sides by -1. However, something to keep in mind, is when you multiply/divide by a negative number, you just flip the sign. In this case, we need to divide both sides of the equation by -1, to get b and our answer. So now, we need to find an answer from our answer choices that is smaller than -19. I think all of them would be right in this case, as they fit the equation. So all of them should be right (: As if you plug in the values, you get answers that could be solutions to the equation!

I hope this helps, have a blessed day!
