Question

An inequality is shown below:

−np − 5 ≤ 4(c − 2)

Which of the following solves for n?

A.) n ≥ − the quantity 4 times c minus 3 all over p
B.) n ≥ − the quantity 4 times c minus 13 all over p
C.) n ≤ − the quantity 4 times c minus 3 all over p
D.) n ≤ − the quantity 4 times c minus 13 all over p

Answer 1

The answer is the option A, which is: A.) n ≥ − the quantity 4 times c minus 3 all over p.
The explanation is shown below:
You have −np − 5 ≤ 4(c − 2)
When you solve for n, you obtain:
-np-5 ≤ 4(c-2)
-np≤4c-8+5
Therefore, you have:
n≤-(4c-3/p)
