To solve the inequality −32.5−6b≥48.5, we need to isolate the variable b by performing mathematical operations on both sides of the inequality.
Start by subtracting −32.5 from both sides:
−6b ≥ 48.5 + 32.5
This simplifies to:
−6b ≥ 81
Next, divide both sides by −6. Remember that when dividing by a negative number, the inequality sign must be reversed:
b ≤ 81 ÷ −6
b ≤ -13.5
Therefore, the correct value for b that would make the inequality true is -13.5.
