What is the solution to the linear equation -12+3b-1=-5-b

You combine like terms

–12 + 3b – 1 = –5 – b

-13 + 3b = -5 - b

3b + b = -5 + 13

4b = 8

b = 8/4 = 2

the answer is b.)

< 1=< 2

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
