Answer:
The number you are looking for is n < -2.333...
Explanation:
Here is the modeled equation for this problem:
3n - 4 < -11.
Add 4 to both sides to isolate 3n.
3n - 4 + 4 < -11 + 4.
3n < -7.
Divide 3 to both sides to get the value of n.
3n/3 < -7/3.
n < -2.333...
So n must be less than -2.333... to make the equation true. Any number equal to or greater than -2.333 will result in the equation being false.
