Answer: -5 ≤ n.

Explanation:


Solve it normally like an equation.

165 ≥ -7(4n - 4) - 3.

Distribute.

165 ≥ -28n + 28 - 3.

Combine Like-Terms.

165 ≥ -28n + 25.

Get the n-value by its own by subtracting 25 on both sides.

140 ≥ -28n

Divide -28 on both sides. (Since it’s a negative, the sign has to change, making the greater than or equal to sign (≥) to a less than or equal to sign (≤).)

-5 ≤ n.

N is greater than or equal to -5.
