What are the steps to solving the inequality 3 b plus 8 is greater than or equal to 14 ?

First subtract 8 from both sides of 3b + 8 ≥ 14, giving 3b ≥ 6. Then divide both sides by 3 to get b ≥ 2. Since 3 is positive, the inequality direction does not change, so the correct steps are to subtract 8 and then divide by 3.
