Let's solve your inequality step-by-step. 5>0.6(10+n) Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality. 5>0.6n+6 Step 2: Flip the equation. 0.6n+6<5 Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides. 0.6n+6−6<5−6 0.6n<−1 Step 4: Divide both sides by 0.6. 0.6n 0.6 < −1 0.6 n<−1.6 repeating
Keep in mind both the distance and time of the scenarios. The faster and more distance travelled = a higher gradient for the line. If he slows, the gradient decreases. If he stops, the line is flat but time still goes on.
