Question

A number n is more than 9 units from 3

Answer 1

n < 9 +- 3
N is less than 9 plus/minus 3

Answer 2

The required inequity is:
`|n-3|\leq 9`

The required solution is:
`-6\leq n\leq 12`

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The given statement is A number n is more than 9 units from 3.

Let the number 'n' is more than 9 units from 3.

Since more than 9 unit is distance, and distance can be in both the direction so take the absolute value as shown.

`|n-3|\leq 9`

Thus, the required inequity is:
`|n-3|\leq 9`

Now we can solve it as shown.

`-9\leq n-3\leq 9`

`-9+3\leq n\leq 9+3\\-6\leq n\leq 12`

Hence, the required solution is:
`-6\leq n\leq 12`
