Question

When 3 is subtracted from one third of a number n, the result is less than 6. Which

inequality and solution represent this situation?
3–ận<6;n<–9
ẩn-3<6;n<27
3- ẩn<6;n>_9
jn-3<6;n<9

Answer 1

Option 2

Explanation:

Making the terms based on the words :

⇒ n/3 - 3 (3 is subtracted from one third of a number n)

⇒ < 6 (less than 6)

===============================================================

The inequality is :

⇒ n/3 - 3 < 6

=============================================================

The solution :

⇒ n/3 - 3 < 6

⇒ n/3 < 9

⇒ n < 27
