15-b%3C7b%2B7 Start with the given inequality.


-b%3C7b%2B7-15 Subtract 15 from both sides.


-b-7b%3C7-15 Subtract 7b from both sides.


-8b%3C7-15 Combine like terms on the left side.


-8b%3C-8 Combine like terms on the right side.


b%3E%28-8%29%2F%28-8%29 Divide both sides by -8 to isolate b. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


b%3E1 Reduce.
