Question

"The product of a number and -8, decreased by
13 is less than or equal to 27."

Answer 1

Answer: less than

So you have:

-8n - 13 ≤ 27Now, solve for n:

-8n -13+13 ≤ 27 + 13-8n ≤ 40

Now, to divide both sides by a negative number (-8), you must change the inequality to ≥

-8n/-8 ≥ 40/-8n ≥ -5
