Question

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!! THATS ALL. I WILL GIVE POINTS, FAN, MEDAL. PLEASE, I AM SO BAD AT MATH PLEASE HELP HELP HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An inequality is shown below: −np − 5 ≤ 4(c − 2) Which of the following solves for n?

Select one:
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

b n ≥ − the quantity 4 times c minus 13 all over p

Answer 2

The answer is choice A

===============================================

Work Shown:


`-np - 5 \le 4(c-2)`


`-np - 5+5 \le 4(c-2)+5` Adding 5 to both sides


`-np \le 4(c-2)+5`


`-np \le 4(c)+4(-2)+5` Distributive Property


`-np \le 4c-8+5`


`-np \le 4c-3`


`n*(-p) \le 4c-3`


`(n*(-p))/(-p) \ge (4c-3)/(-p)` See note below


`n \ge -(4c-3)/(p)`

So that's why the answer is choice A

Note: In this step, I divided both sides by -p. Dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number will flip the sign. So that's why we go from a "less than or equal to" sign to a "greater than or equal to" sign.
