You have to switch the 8 to the left and the y to the right which would change the equation to 9-8=y
y=1
Answer:
n - (-6) < 9
n < 3
Step-by-step explanation:
When setting up an inequality, using the key words from the problem will help. The word 'difference' would indicate subtraction and 'less than' would be the '<' inequality sign. Since the expression is 'the difference of a number and -6', we write:
n - (-6) < 9
Whenever we subtract a negative number, we change both signs to positive:
n + 6 < 9
Using inverse operations to solve: n + 6 - 6 < 9 - 6
n < 3
It is already simplified, three goes into three once but three cant go into 32 without there being a remainder.
A. x <= -12
<u>Explanation:</u>
-3x >= 36
-x >= 36/ 3
-x > = 12
x < = -12
When the negative sign is shifted then the greater than equal to sign reverses to less than equal to.
Therefore, x <= -12
