It shows you the exact distance from each number and it's easier to find out how far apart they are.
-5n - 3 - 3 > 19
-5n - 6 > 19
+ 6 +6
-5n > 25
divide by -5 on each side

For graphing on the line, you will create an OPEN circle on -5 and sketch it to the left.
If the time taken by 14 inches wide is one hour then the blade of 12 inches wide will take 1 hour 17 minutes to mow a lawn.
What is width?
The width of something is the measurement of one side of a body. It is generally less than length of that body or shape.
How to calculate time?
We have been given time of 1 hour if blade is 14 inches wide and we have to calculate time taken by 12 inches wide blade:
It will be as 14/12* 1 hour
=14/12
=1.167
=1.17 hour
Hence the time taken by the blade of 12 inches wide will be 1 hour and 17 minutes.
