What are the steps to solving the inequality 3b + 8 ≥ 14?

First subtract 8 from both sides: 3b + 8 ≥ 14 becomes 3b ≥ 6. Then divide both sides by 3 to get b ≥ 2. Because 3 is positive, the inequality direction stays the same, so the correct choice is “Subtract 8 from both sides. Divide both sides by 3.”
