Determine whether the given value of the variable is a solution to the inequality 3b + 2 < 14 when b = 4

I dont think it that would be the solution because 14 has to be greater and not equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

3(b) + 2 < 14

3(4) + 2 < 14

12 + 2 < 14

14 < 14

step-by-step explanation:

first, eliminate the parenthesis:

3

x

+

2

−

4

x

second, group like terms:

3

x

−

4

x

+

2

third, combine like terms:

(

3

−

4

)

x

+

2

→

−
