Given the following inequality:


10+b\le-1

You need to remember that the following symbol means "Less than or equal to":


\le

In order to find the solution of the given inequality, you need to apply the Subtraction property of inequality, which states that if:


aThen:[tex]a-cAnd if[tex]a>b

Then:


a-c>b-c

Therefore in this case, you must subtract 10 from both sides of the inequality. Then, you get:


\begin{gathered} 10+b-(10)\le-1-(10) \\ b\le-11 \end{gathered}

The solution is:


b\le-11
