-2b + 4 is greater than -6

1 answer

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

  1. Subtract 4 from both sides:

\[ -2b > -6 - 4 \]

\[ -2b > -10 \]

  1. Now, divide both sides by -2. Remember to reverse the inequality sign when dividing by a negative number:

\[ b < \frac{-10}{-2} \]

\[ b < 5 \]

So, the solution to the inequality is:

\[ b < 5 \]

This means any value of \(b\) that is less than 5 will satisfy the inequality \(-2b + 4 > -6\).
