{b:b<15}

1 answer

To express the solution set of the inequality \( 3(b−4)+2b>3 \), we first simplify the inequality:

  1. Distribute the 3: \[ 3(b - 4) + 2b > 3 \] \[ 3b - 12 + 2b > 3 \]

  2. Combine like terms: \[ 5b - 12 > 3 \]

  3. Add 12 to both sides: \[ 5b > 15 \]

  4. Divide by 5: \[ b > 3 \]

The solution set is \( b > 3 \).

The correct set notation that expresses the solutions is:

\({b : b > 3}\)

So the correct response is:

{b:b>3}
