Answer:

n can be any number greater than -2.

Explanation:

Use symbols and numbers instead of words:

"a number n minus 3 is at least -5"

Words Math

a number n: n

minus 3: -3

is at least -5: >-5

No put them together:

n - 3 > - 5

This means that n > - 2 [add 3 tp both sides]

As long as n is greater than -2, the equation will be > -5, and the world is happy.
