Answer:

all real numbers

Explanation:

simplify each side of the inequality

26 + 6b -- already fully simplified

2(3b + 4) → 6b + 8

26 + 6b ≥ 6b + 8

subtract 6b from both sides

26 ≥ 8

since this expression is true (26 is greater than 8), then the solution is all real numbers. any value could take the place of b because in the end, it will be canceled out by itself, resulting in 26 ≥ 8
