Question

2b + 4 is greater than -6

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \(2b + 4 > -6\), follow these steps:

1. Subtract 4 from both sides:
\[
2b + 4 - 4 > -6 - 4
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
2b > -10
\]

2. Now, divide both sides by 2:
\[
\frac{2b}{2} > \frac{-10}{2}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
b > -5
\]

So the solution to the inequality is:
\[
b > -5
\]
