EXPLAIN THIS BETTER NOW BECAUSE IM CONFUSED OR IM TELLING YOU TEACHER
To solve these questions, we need to set up inequalities based on the given conditions and solve them.
a. For what values of n will the sum of n+3 be less than 50?
To express this as an inequality, we have: n + 3 < 50.
To solve this inequality:
1. Subtract 3 from both sides of the inequality:
n < 50 - 3.
Simplifying, we get n < 47.
Therefore, for any whole number n less than 47, the sum of n+3 will be less than 50.
b. For what values of n will the product 3n be less than 50?
To express this as an inequality, we have: 3n < 50.
To solve this inequality:
1. Divide both sides of the inequality by 3:
n < 50/3.
Since n represents a whole number, we need to find the largest whole number less than 50/3.
Dividing 50 by 3, we get approximately 16.67.
Therefore, the largest whole number less than 50/3 is 16.
Hence, for any whole number n less than 16, the product of 3n will be less than 50.
