Answer:b>-1 and 66/67

Explanation:

First you add like terms. So 96+43. Your problem should now look like this -67+6=139. Now subtract 139 from 6 and you will be left with this -67b<133. Now divide 133 by -67 and you get -1.985074627. Or -1 66/67 as a fraction. You have to flip the sign because you divided by a negative number. You answer should look like this b>-1 and 66/67.
