Answer:
Least possible value of b is 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that [tex]7b-8>4b+16[/tex] and b is an odd integer.
We need to find the least possible value of b.
We have,
[tex]7b-8>4b+16[/tex]
Isolate variable terms.
[tex]7b-4b>8+16[/tex]
[tex]3b>24[/tex]
Divide both sides by 3.
[tex]b>8[/tex]
Since b>8 and b an odd integer, therefore the possible values of b are 9, 11, 13, 15, ... .
Hence, the least possible value of b is 9.
