To solve the inequality \( 3(b - 4) + 2b > 3 \), let's first simplify it:
-
Distribute the 3: \[ 3b - 12 + 2b > 3 \]
-
Combine like terms: \[ 5b - 12 > 3 \]
-
Add 12 to both sides: \[ 5b > 15 \]
-
Finally, divide by 5: \[ b > 3 \]
Now, to express the solution in set notation, it can be represented as: \[ { b \in \mathbb{R} \mid b > 3 } \] or in interval notation as: \[ (3, \infty) \]
Both notations correctly express the solution set of the inequality \( b > 3 \).
