Answer:

n = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking you to solve for your variable N. To do so, you must use difference operation(s) and their respective principle of equality to isolate the variable.

To get n by itself on one side of the variable, the term -7n by -7. What you do to one side of the equal sign, you must also do to the other due to the division principle of equality. Thus, you also divide 21 by -7.

$\frac{21}{-7} = \frac{-7n}{-7}$

Once you simplify, you are left with -3 = n or n = -3, which is your answer.

In which quadrants do solutions for the inequality y is less than or equal to two sevenths times x plus 1 exist?

Answer:

y will be in every single quadrant

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation $y\leq \frac{2}{7} x+1$ first we will have to look at the equation. It says that y is less than or equal to $\frac{2}{7} x+1$ since y is less than $\frac{2}{7} x+1$ the only place the shaded area where y can be is under the line that is drawn be the equation. When the equation is graphed the y-intercept will be on positive 1 it since slope is rise over run it will look something like the file attached to this. so under the line you can see every single quadrant so that is why it would be that way
