The answer to this question will be B
Answer:
n=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
8n + 12 + -5n = 21
Reorder the terms:
12 + 8n + -5n = 21
Combine like terms: 8n + -5n = 3n
12 + 3n = 21
Solving
12 + 3n = 21
Solving for variable 'n'.
Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -12 + 3n = 21 + -12
Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + 3n = 21 + -12
3n = 21 + -12
Combine like terms: 21 + -12 = 9
3n = 9
Divide each side by '3'.
n = 3
Simplifying
n = 3
Answer: x ≥ 6
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
12 less <u>than</u> 5 times a number ≥ 6 more <u>than</u> twice the number
5x - 12 ≥ 2x + 6
Note: the word "than" switches the order of the terms.
5x - 12 ≥ 2x + 6
<u>-2x +12</u> <u>-2x +12 </u>
3x ≥ 18
<u>÷3 </u> <u> ÷3 </u>
x ≥ 6
Graph: 6 -----------→ the dot is closed (filled in) since it is "equal to"
