Question

Solve for n: 3 − 2(n − 4) > −1

Answer 1

The signs switch because you are dividing by a negative number !

Answer 2

n<6

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

−2n+11>−1

Step 2: Subtract 11 from both sides.

−2n+11−11>−1−11

−2n>−12

Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.

−2n −2 > −12/−2

n<6
