Question

Show your work for 10 subtracted from the quotient of a number and seven is less than -6

Answer 1

n < 28

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert words into an expression

(n / 7) - 10 < -6

Step 2: Add 10 to both sides

(n / 7) - 10 + 10 < -6 + 10

n/7 < 4

Step 3: Multiply both side by 7

n/7 * 7 < 4 * 7

n < 28

Answer: n < 28
