2b + 4 is greater than -6

1 answer

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: \[ b > -5 \]
