solve an equation or inequality.

Answer 1

N-6≤20 N≤26

Explanation:

n-6≤20

n-6=20

+6 +6

n≤26

Answer 2

Therefore, n is smaller than 26 (n < 26).

Explanation:

First, you have to form an inequality. With the given informations, the inequality will be :

`n - 6 < 20`

Next, you have to solve it, by adding 6 to both sides :

`n - 6 < 20`

`n - 6 + 6 < 20 + 6`

`n < 26`
