Question

what is the solution of −1.2b−5.3≥1.9

Answer 1

If you want me to solve for b then  

b  ≤  − 6

Answer 2

Answer:

$b \le -6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$-1.2b - 5.3 \ge 1.9$

Add 5.3 to both sides of the inequality.

$-1.2b - 5.3 + 5.3 \ge 1.9 + 5.3$

$-1.2b \ge 7.2$

Divide both sides by -1.2. When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign changes direction. In this case, the "greater than or equal to" sign changes to a "less than or equal to" sign.

$\dfrac{-1.2b}{-1.2} \le \dfrac{7.2}{-1.2}$

$b \le -6$
