Answer: The answer would be b<-9 for the nonsimplified version though.

Explanation:

b+1>-8

first, -1 from each side.

then you will have -9>b

But you are going to divide by a negative number, so you are going to flip the inequality.

( b>-9 )

I remember learning this is like 7th grade haha. Let me know if you have any questions
