Question

-6(2+n) is greater than 72

Answer 1

Answer:

n < -14

Step-by-step explanation:

-6(2 + n) > 72 //Distribute -6 to 2 and n

-12 - 6n > 72

-6n > 72 + 12

-6n > 84

n < 84/-6 //Dividing negative number flip the sign

n < -14

Answer 2

Answer:

n > -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, you use the distributive property;

-12 - 6n > 72

Then, since 12 is negative, you add 12 to both sides;

-12 - 6n > 72

+12           +12

-6n > 84

Then you divide both sides by -6 to get n > -14.

Shoot, hold on; this is an edit; did you mean that 72 is greater than -6(2 + n) or did you accidentally flip the sign in the picture? Hopefully I did what you needed.
