I think it is the first one could be wrong tho
I dont know but thanks for your points
What about if you use the distributive property? You could do 1(x+13) because the 1 would distribute to the x and the 13 making it x+13. Hope that is helpful.
Answer:
n ≥ -9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n = the number
8 <em>less than</em> a number means "n – 8", but
8 <em>less</em> a number means "8 – n," so
8 – n ≤ 17 Subtract 8 from each side
-n ≤ 9 Multiply each side by -1
n ≥ -9
<em>Note</em>: When we multiply by a negative number, we must reverse the inequality.
<em>Check:</em>
Try n = -8.
8 – (-8) ≤ 17
8 + 8 ≤ 17
16 ≤ 17
<em>True</em>.
