Answer 1

b > 6, b < -6

Explanation:

Hello!

Using absolute value rules:

• |b| > 6; b > 6, b < -6

The compound inequality is as follows: b > 6, b < -6

This makes sense because all values turn positive in the asbolute value. So a number that is negative and less than -6 (say -7), would turn positive to be 7, which is greater than 6.

And any number already greater than 6 will always be greater than 6.
