b < 8
Explanation

3/2b + 5 < 17
We subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality.
3/2b + 5 - 5 < 17 - 5
3/2 b < 12
Multiply both sides by 2/3.
( 2/3) * (3/2b) < (2/3) * 12
b < 8

Answer:

b < 8

Explanation:

Given inequality:


(3)/(2)b+5 < 17

Subtract 5 from both sides:


\implies (3)/(2)b+5-5 < 17-5


\implies (3)/(2)b < 12

Multiply both sides by 2:


\implies 2 \cdot (3)/(2)b < 2 \cdot 12


\implies3b < 24

Divide both sides by 3:


\implies (3b)/(3) < (24)/(3)


\implies b < 8
