Question

Four more than a number is more than 13. Write an inequality and solve the problem.

Inequality: n+4 > 13

OPTION A: n > 7
OPTION B: n > 9
OPTION C: n > 12
OPTION D: n > 17

Answer 1

The inequality is solved by subtracting 4 from both sides, leading to n > 9. Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: n > 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to solve the inequality n+4 > 13 to find the value of the number n. First, we will isolate n by subtracting 4 from both sides of the inequality:

• n + 4 - 4 > 13 - 4
• n > 9

This simplifies to n > 9, which means the number must be greater than 9 to satisfy the inequality. Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: n > 9.
