2) add 2 to the other side, then divide by -2 to isolate the n, when dividing by a negative number the inequality flips to the other direction
5) subtract 4 to the other side so you get 2/3x=-4, multiply by 3/2 on the right to isolate x, x=(-4)(3)/2, x=-6
6)12/2= 6, 6+3=9
4) the total is 258 so thats on the other side of the equation, she already has 48 so that number isnt going to change with each purchase, however, with each purchase she gets 6 points so for every 6shops + her48 owned already = the 258 she needs to get to
