Final answer:
The solutions of the given inequalities are : b < -8 or b > 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the compound inequality b/8 < -1 or b/8 > 0, we should solve for b in each inequality separately.
- For the inequality b/8 < -1, we multiply both sides by 8 to isolate b, which gives us b < -8.
- For the inequality b/8 > 0, multiplying both sides by 8 gives b > 0.
The solution to the compound inequality is the union of the solutions to each inequality.
This means that b can be any number less than -8 or any number greater than 0.
