5>4b+9>17
- -
To solve the inequality 5 > 4b + 9 > 17, we need to isolate the variable b.
First, let's simplify the expression 4b + 9. Subtracting 9 from both sides of the inequality, we get:
5 - 9 > 4b + 9 - 9 > 17 - 9
-4 > 4b > 8
Next, we can divide all three parts of the inequality by 4 to isolate b:
-4/4 > 4b/4 > 8/4
-1 > b > 2
So the solution to the inequality 5 > 4b + 9 > 17 is -1 > b > 2.
