Get n by itself in both inequalities

(This program doesn't allow for regular less than or greater than signs, so for the purposes of this problem I will be using less than or equal to (≤) and greater than or equal to (≥) signs)

Inequality 1:

n-4 \geq 5 \\ n \geq 9

Inequality 2:

2 \geq n+3 \\ -1 \geq n

Now that you have both of the n's by themselves, you can put the two inequalities together, like this

-1 \geq n \geq 9

Just keep in mind that these are supposed to be regular less than signs
