Question

which of the b-values satisfy the following inequality?
5 < b - 3
choose all answers that apply:
a b = 8
b b = 9
c b = 10

Explanation:

Step1: Solve the inequality

To solve \(5 < b - 3\), add 3 to both sides of the inequality.

$$

$$

This means \(b\) must be greater than 8.

Step2: Check each option

• For option A (\(b = 8\)): Since \(8\) is not greater than \(8\) (it is equal), \(b = 8\) does not satisfy the inequality.
• For option B (\(b=9\)): Since \(9>8\), \(b = 9\) satisfies the inequality.
• For option C (\(b = 10\)): Since \(10>8\), \(b=10\) satisfies the inequality.

Answer:

B. \(b = 9\), C. \(b = 10\)
