Question

1: n/-3 - 8 < 17
2: n/-2 + 11 > 17

Answer 1

1: n > -75

2: n < -12

Explanation:

1: n/-3 - 8 < 17

n/-3 (- 8 + 8) < 17 + 8

n/-3 < 25

n/-3(-3) < 25(-3)

n < -75

n > -75 (switch symbol when you divide or multiply by a negative number)

2: n/-2 + 11 > 17

n/-2 (+ 11 - 11) > 17 - 11

n/-2 > 6

n/-2(-2) > 6(-2)

n > -12

n < -12 (switch symbol when you divide or multiply by a negative number)
