Answer:
b \le -7 which means b is less than or equal to -7

In other words, b can be -7 or it can be smaller (-8, -9, -10, etc)

-------------------------------------------------------

To get this answer, you simply subtract 9 from both sides. On the left side, the 9+b or b+9 will turn into b+0 or just b. On the right side, you'll have 2-9 turn into -7. This shows how
9+b \le 2 becomes
b \le -7

Note: to graph this on a number line, you would plot a closed circle at -7, then shade to the left of the closed circle. The closed circle means "include -7 as part of the solution set".

Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation for your answer.

9 - 9 + b ≤ 2 - 9

b ≤ -7

Hope this helps you!
