Answer:

n - (-6) < 9

n < 3

Step-by-step explanation:

When setting up an inequality, using the key words from the problem will help. The word 'difference' would indicate subtraction and 'less than' would be the '<' inequality sign. Since the expression is 'the difference of a number and -6', we write:

n - (-6) < 9

Whenever we subtract a negative number, we change both signs to positive:

n + 6 < 9

Using inverse operations to solve: n + 6 - 6 < 9 - 6

n < 3

Answer:

11 (if you wanna know how many cups [which i mean by 2/3] it is 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, to start, a cook has 11 7/8 cups of flour, right? Well, if you subtract 11 7/8 by 2/3 you get 11 5/24. As an estimate, you would get just plain 11 because there is three numbers when you estimate, 11, 11 1/2, or 12. 11 5/24 is more closer to 11 (because 1/2 would be 11 12/24, and 12 would be 11 13/24 or more until 12)

Hope it helped...
