Exercise 26 Page 193

Let's begin by stating the inequalities. lc9+b>24 & (I) b>33 & (II) If two inequalities are equivalent, it is possible to write one of them as the other. To determine if the given inequalities are equivalent, we will attempt to write Inequality (I) as Inequality (II).

When the variable in Inequality (I) is isolated, we see that the two inequalities are not the same. Therefore, they are not equivalent.
