i know the answer but idk how to get to it

Idk how to do algebra 2 very well but I can try to help

4b+18 ≤ -12b-14 ≤ 14-5b

i need to simplify it or somethign

Hmm, lemme try to sort that out, I can prolly do that

i know the answer bc theres an answer key but it doesnt provide work shown so i cant understand how to get to it

i am gunna say add 5b?

omg i was working on it and i read this like the second i was about to do it lol

was i right?

wait idk

it doesnt make sense

because then you have 9b on the left side and you have to subtract it from all the sides

can you post a pic or screenshot of the problem and what it askes of you to do?

yea idk im only at geometry, i did algebra 1 in 8th and im in 9th doing geometry, i dunno if this will work but try using mathway.com i didnt see what it was asking for on there but idk

correct

i wanted to double up because usually im horrible at geometry and I havent learned it since 7th grade

apparently in 9th grade C and lower is geometry and then like B+ and up is algebra ll honors

idk

i didnt understand a single thing you said but y=mx+b

i got all 100's in math for two quarters last year so i could take two math classes

so i did

i would prob do that aswell but now that ik my teachers i would never, my english teacher sucks more then a tornado

im doing both geometry and algebra but i finished my geometry homework thank goodness

at the same time? WHY

wait can you say the answer so ik what to work towards? There might be a few answers that are technically not wrong

so they're saying that this equation can be simplified to "-4 is lesser or equal to b is lesser or equal to -2?"

Yes

o okie
is she good at math? Lol mine isn't

mine is okay at math

she works in accounting does that involve math

no I don't understand rn I'm a bit too tired lol
but gr8 that u figured it out :D

lol

Okie
yw!

youre supposed to split it in half it turns out

its more or less an "and" problem if yk what i mean

my mom didnt get it and i ended up getting it myself 💀💀 i overlooked something

yea I might be overlooking something but idt I am

:D

:D

Ik I don't but I'm trying to solve everything's value so I can simplify it, since you technically can't divide 4b, -12b, and 5b by a common factor

ik

its okay i'll figure it out

thanks so much for helping tho

I plugged -4, -3, and -2 in to the equations for "b" and got 2, 34, 34, and 10, 10, 24, and 6, 22, 29 respectively
According to the equation those would be fine but not according to the answer

oop

Ahhh okay well that's good
I wonder if that has a mistake in it bc I plugged in all the possible values "b" could be in the equation and I got answers that fit the equation but they didn't have anything to do with the answer

you dont have to solve for b

okay lemme test out all the possible solutions then bc now ik there's definitely more than one bc the one I came up with didn't result in that answer even though it's technically not wrong

its fine i'll go ask my mom

hold up I gotta try one more idea but I was asking is "b" in the red answer the exact same as "b" in the original equation

yes

okay that's weird
Is "b" in the answer the same value as in the equation? bc I applied it to the whole equation and got a very different answer

what

wait are there any rules about what "b" can be? Like can it be a negative number? Also what are they asking you to solve? Bc there might be multiple answers

no they just want me to simplify it so i can graph it

O okie

ye

How old are you

.-.

oop

I can’t help

i solved it myself

bruh i asked for help from my mom but the second she came over i realized i solved it

Lol bruh

lol
