Let's set up an equation.
so we know the answer is -13.
1/3 of a number (our variable) can be written as 1/3n.
8 less than that would be subtracting 1/3n by 8
so we have -13 = 1/3n - 8.
To solve:
Add 8 to both sides: -5 = 1/3n
Multiply both sides by 3 (to cancel fraction): -15 = n
You can check by plugging -15 into the equation we made.

To make that graph you follow these steps.
1) Set the cartesian coordinate system:
- vertical axis: y
- horizontal axis: x
- positive x-semi axis: to the right
- negative x-semi axis: to the left
- positive y-semi axis: upward
- negative y semi axis: dwonward
2) solve the inequality for y:
given: -2x + 5y > 15
transpose-2x: 5y > 15 + 2x
divide by 5: y > 3 + (2/5)x
3) Graph-
draw the line y = 3 + (2/5)x, using a dotted line (i.e. - - - - - -)
- remember that 3 is the y intercept, and 2/5 is the slope
- the line is dotted because
the solution does not include the points in the line.
- the solution is the
region above and to the left of the dotted line.
4) See the
figure attached for better visualization: the pink region is the solution of the inequality.
For this, we need to find the lowest common multiple of 12 and 15....
common multiples of 12 : 12,24,36,48,60
common multiples of 15 : 15,30,45,60
LCM = 60
the caller that will be the first to win both is the 60th caller
