Answer:


n\le \:-2

Explanation:


3\left(-4n-6\right)+5\ge \:-2n+7


-12n-13\ge \:-2n+7


-12n\ge \:-2n+20


-12n+2n\ge \:-2n+20+2n


-10n\ge \:20


\left(-10n\right)\left(-1\right)\le \:20\left(-1\right)


10n\le \:-20


(10n)/(10)\le (-20)/(10)


n\le \:-2

Hope this helps!

All the love, Ya boi Fraser :)
