could someone help me with math?

Question

Solve the following inequality, and then graph:

b+1<1

Answer 1

b + 1 < 1

b < 0       (after subtracting 1 from each side of the given inequality)

 

On the numberline, place a small circle at 0, then draw a 'ray' to the left. This shows that b can be ANY NEGATIVE number.
