Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First get the answer to -3n - 4 = 2
-3n - 4 + 4 = 2 + 4
-3n = 6
n = 6/-3
n = -2
That answer is the only one that is permitted. It is the only one that completely satisfies the equation.
Now when you do the inequality, look what happens.
-3n - 4 < 2 Add 4 to both sides.
-3n-4+ 4 < 2+4
-3n < 6 Now there are a bunch of ways (2) to solve this.
No matter which way you do it, the arrow will change.
-3n/-3 > 6/-3
n > - 2
That means that any number that is greater than - 2 will satisfy the inequality.
So n = 0 will work. Even n = - 1 will work. Anything bigger than -2 will work. The equation does not provide that kind of latitude.
