Question

Given -6b+22>-8 what is the largest integer b can represent ​

Answer 1

So we have this inequality:

`-6b + 22 > -8`

We substract 22 on both sides:

`-6b > -30`

Now, we divide both sides by -6 and we change the sign, as, when we multiplicate or divide by a negative number we always have to do it:

`b < (-30)/(-6)`

`b < 5`

So we know b < 5, so the biggest integer b can represent is 4. Note that the solution is any number which is smaller than 5.

Answer 2

5

Explanation:

-6b> -8-22

-6b> -30

b> -30/-6

b>5
