The quotient of a number and 15 is at least 3
n/15 ≥ 3
Write an inequality for the statement
To find the value of the number, you need to multiply both sides of the inequality by 15:
(n/15) * 15 ≥ 3 * 15
This simplifies to:
n ≥ 45
So, the number is at least 45.
To solve this inequality, we need to isolate the variable "n" on one side of the inequality sign.
To begin, we multiply both sides of the inequality by 15 to get rid of the denominator:
15 * (n/15) ≥ 15 * 3
This simplifies to:
n ≥ 45
So the value of "n" must be greater than or equal to 45 for the inequality to hold.
To check this solution, you can substitute different values of "n" into the original inequality and see if it holds true.
