3b + 12 > 27 - 2b
add 2b to both sides
5b + 12> 27
subtract 12 from both sides
5b > 15
divide both sides by 5
b>3
This works with the same rules that you would use with equations.
Can you please solve this I don't understand I know the answer is b>3 but If you can break it down for me and show work? (:
