Answer:
No, If a stays the same b must be a value within the interval that satisfy the inequality.
Step-by-step explanation:
An inequality provides an interval as a solution. So, actually the solution of an inequality comprises many coordinate pairs. To show that, let's show this graphically. Instead of (a, b), let's work with numbers.
Let's use as an example a -b <0
1) Suppose a=1, b=3
[tex]a-b<0\\1-3<0\\-2<0 \:True[/tex]
2) If a stays the same value, i.e. 1, then b=?
[tex]1-b<0\\-b<-1\\b>1\\\\Plugging \:in\:the\:original\: equation:\\1-2<0\\-1<0 \:True[/tex]
Then b>1
