How do I solve this equivalent equation? 12b<12

b is the same as x, just a different letter. how do you think it would go if it said 12x<12

Would I just divide each side by 12 so b<1 would be my answer?

yes.

To solve the inequality 12b < 12, you need to isolate the variable b.

Step 1: Divide both sides of the inequality by 12:
(12b)/12 < 12/12
b < 1

Therefore, the solution to the inequality 12b < 12 is b < 1.
