Question

Solve the inequality.Explain all steps and Identify the properties used. n/-3 + 5>4

Answer 1

For this..
$\frac{n}{-3}+5 \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Apply\:the\:fraction\:rule}:\ \frac{a}{-b}=-\frac{a}{b} \ \textgreater \ -\frac{n}{3}+5 \ \textgreater \ \frac{n}{3}+5\ \textgreater \ 4$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}5\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides} \ \textgreater \ -\frac{n}{3}+5-5\ \textgreater \ 4-5 \ \textgreater \ \ \textgreater \ -\frac{n}{3}\ \textgreater \ -1$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}3 \ \textgreater \ 3\left(-\frac{n}{3}\right)\ \textgreater \ 3\left(-1\right) \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Simplify} \ \textgreater \ -n\ \textgreater \ -3$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:-1\:\left(reverse\:the\:inequality\right)}$
$\left(-n\right)\left(-1\right)\ \textless \ \left(-3\right)\left(-1\right) \ \textgreater \ \ \textgreater \ \mathrm{Simplify} \ \textgreater \ n\ \textless \ 3$

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

N/-3>4-5 
then you can just times by -3 to get n on it's own
n>-3(4-5)
n>-3*-1
n>3
