Question

Solve for n.
–
31–n>52

Answer 1

n<-21

Explanation:

31-n>52

-31 on both sides

-n>21

flip

n<-21

Answer 2

`31-n > 52`

Simplify:

`-n+31 > 52`

Subtract 31 from both sides:

`-n+31-31 > 52-31`

`-n > 21`

Divide both sides by -1:(to remove the negative from the variable)

`(-n)/(-1) > (21)/(-1)`

Reverse the inequality sign since we are dividing by a negative number.

`n < -21`
