Question

Please help me on this!!
5n+17≥n–3≥–15+5n

Answer 1

-5 ≤ n ≤ 3

Explanation:

Firstly we solve the equation two at a time;

5n + 17 ≥ n - 3

5n - n ≥ -3 - 17

4n ≥ -20

n ≥ -5

-5 ≤ n

n - 3 ≥ -15 + 5n

n - 5n ≥ -15 + 3

-4n ≥ -12

-n ≥ -3

n ≤ 3

Therefore,

5n+17 ≥ n–3 ≥ –15+5n, becomes

-5 ≤ n ≤ 3
