Can someone please explain how to solve such a mean and sneaky problem? Please?

Answer:
all real numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
simplify each side of the inequality
26 + 6b -- already fully simplified
2(3b + 4) → 6b + 8
26 + 6b ≥ 6b + 8
subtract 6b from both sides
26 ≥ 8
since this expression is true (26 is greater than 8), then the solution is all real numbers. any value could take the place of b because in the end, it will be canceled out by itself, resulting in 26 ≥ 8
