Exercise 32 Page 150

Substitute - 4 into the given inequality and then simplify.

Yes.

Practice makes perfect
We can determine whether - 4 is a solution by substituting it into the inequality and simplifying.
3/4b - 2 ≤ 2b + 8
3/4( - 4) - 2 ? ≤ 2( - 4) + 8
3* (- 4)/4 - 2 ? ≤ 2(- 4) + 8
- 12/4 - 2 ? ≤- 8 + 8
- 3 - 2 ? ≤ - 8 + 8
- 5 ? ≤ - 8 + 8
- 5 ≤ 0 ✓
Since - 5 is less than 0, - 4 is a solution.
