can you please help me explain all the steps used in the problem n/-3+5>4 im afraid i might get this one wrong
According to the second posting you meant:
n/(-3+5) > 4
n/2 > 4
multiply both sides by +2
n > 8
if you meant it the way you typed it ...
n/-3+5>4
n/-3 > -1
multiply both sides by -3, inequality sign has to be switched
n < 3
according to "order of operations" ( PEMDAS)
... the division operation occurs before the addition
adding parentheses to clarify ... (n / -3) + 5 > 4
subtracting 5 ... n / -3 > -1
multiplying by -3 (arrow flips) ... n < 3
Sure, I can help you with that problem. Let's break it down step by step.
The inequality given is n/-3 + 5 > 4.
Step 1: To begin, we want to isolate the variable n, so let's start by subtracting 5 from both sides of the inequality:
n/-3 > 4 - 5
Simplifying the right side of the inequality gives:
n/-3 > -1
Step 2: Next, we want to eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides of the inequality by -3. When multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a negative number, remember to reverse the sign of the inequality symbol:
(-3)(n/-3) < (-1)(-3)
On the left side, the -3 in the numerator and the -3 in the denominator cancel out, leaving us with:
n < -1(-3)
Simplifying the right side gives:
n < 3
So, the solution to the inequality is n < 3. Keep in mind that the solution represents all values of n that satisfy the given inequality.
