You have to solve for n that is where you get the plot then you have to remember in inequalities if you divide by a negative you have to switch the sign. The inequality is not a less than or equal to or greater than or equal to so the plot would be an open circle. Because we switched the sign it goes down the left side of the graph because of the direction the sign is pointing to.
So we need to know what 23 1/2 + 9 5/8 + 6 1/4 is. first, we need to make them into equivalent fraction. so... 23 1/2 can be 23 4/8 9 5/8 and 6 1/4 can be 6 2/8 let's add the whole numbers. 23 + 9 + 6 = 38 4/8 + 5/8 + 2/8 = 11/8 = 1 3/8 so 38 + 1 3/8 is 39 3/8 the answer is 39 3/8 pounds
