Answer 1

Subtract 8 from both sides of the inequality. Divide both sides of the inequality by 3.

Explanation:

The given inequality is 3b + 8 ≥ 14

We need to solve the given inequality

Step 1.

Subtract 8 to the both sides of the inequality

3b + 8 - 8 ≥ 14 -8

3b ≥ 6

Dividing both sides by 3

b ≥ 2

The value of b is greater than and equal to 2.

Hence, the correct option is (a).
