The given expression is:

2 + 3[4 + 2(b-1)] > 2b - 7

Simplifying this further, we get:

2 + 3[ 4 + 2b - 2] > 2b - 7

==> 2 + 3[2 - 2b] > 2b - 7

==> 2 + 6 - 6b > 2b - 7

==> 8 - 6b > 2b - 7

==> 8 + 7 > 2b + 6b

==> 15 > 8b

OR

==> 8b < 15

==> b+%3C+15%2F8

Hence, the solution.

happy calculating!!!
