Question

Explain the steps when solving 3(n+5) > or equal to 3n+8

Answer 1

Let me tell you....

This equation cannot be solved at all.

Why?

3(n+5)≥3n+8
3n+15 ≥ 3n+8
3n-3n ≥ 8-15
0 ≥ -7

Even though it make sense than 0 ≥ -7... But since 'n' disappeared, this means that this equation have no solution. To solve means to find the value of 'n' and if there is no 'n' since 3n-3n=0, there is no solutions.

This question is pretty much invalid.

Extra:
To tackle such inequality qns:
Step 1: Expand the brackets
Step 2: Move the term to one side of the equations
and constant to another side of the equation.
Step 3: Find the value of the term. Done.
