Question

Hi! Could anyone help with this? :)

Answer 1

2(b + 6) - 7 <= -3b - 30

Let's distribute the 2.

2b + 12 - 7 <= -3b - 30

Combine like terms.

2b + 5 <= -3b - 30

Subtract 2b from both sides and add 30 to both sides.

35 <= -5b

Divide both sides by -5.

-7 >= b

We had to flip the sign because we divided by a negative number.

This means that b <= -7. D is correct.
