Answer:

b is greater than a.

Step-by-step explanation:

−3(a–b) > 0

a - b < 0   - The  sign is flipped because we are dividing  by a negative.

Checking with some values of a and b:

Let a = 4 and b = 2:

-3( 4 - 2) = -6  which is not > 0.

a = 3, b = 3

-3(3-3) = 0 ( not greater)

a = 2 b = 3

-3(2 - 3) = - * - 1 = 3 which is greater than 0.
