Answer:
-5/12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
1
/3 = n + 3
/4
Step 1: Flip the equation.
n + 3
/4 = 1/
3
Step 2: Subtract 3/4 from both sides.
n+ 3
/4 − 3/4 = 1/
3 − 3
/4
n= −5
/12
15% and the corresponding 0.15 is by necessity unit-less; it's just a multiplier. If you run up a $1 bill and wish to tip 15%, multiply $1 by 0.15, obtaining $0.15.
Then the total due would be $1 plus $0.15, or $1.15.
Note that $0.15
-------- = 0.15 is unit-less
$1
You want to isolate the x-term from the constant term, so you can subtract x/3 and add 10. This gives you
... 4/9x -10 -x/3 +10 > x/3 -12 -x/3 +10
... 1/9x > -2 . . . . . . collect terms
Now, you can multiply by 9 to see the condition on x.
... 9(1/9x) > -2(9)
... x > -18
On the x-y plane, the graph of this will be a dashed line at x=-18, and the half-plane to the right of that line will be shaded.
On a number line, there will be an open circle at x=-18, and the number line to the right of that circle will be marked (bold, colored, shaded, whatever).
