Come on:rolleyes:.
Give an example of where your problem lies.
Why don't you just ask, "how do you do math?".

This is a simple inequality, and so, solve it like any other equation, that is, subtract 16 from both sides, giving
b > -25
If it was like this:
9 - 3b > 0
Then,
-3b > -9
BUT
b < 3
You see, there was an inversion of the sign. This occurs when there is multiplication o division of a negative number.
Hope it helped, though a bit late...

Do you still need help?
You just solve for be... and when you divide by a negative the sign flips... does that make sense?
