Question

If the least value of n is 5, which inequality best shows all the possible values of n?

n ≥ 5
n ≤ 5
n < 5
n > 5

Answer 1

First option

Explanation:

The inequality says greater than or equal to 5. Which means n is greater than or equal to (≥) 5.

It's not the second option because less than or equal to means that n is less than or equal 5, which doesn't check out since 5 is the smallest value of n.

It's not the third option since it says that 5 is greater than n, when we know that one of n's values is 5.

It's not the fourth option since it says that that n is greater than 5, when we know again that one of the values of n is 5.

Your answer is the first option "n ≥ 5."

Hope this helps.
