n/3+5>4
Please help this is new and I do not understand it
subtract five from both sides
n/3 > -1
n > -3
be careful though.
You are ok here because we multiplied by +3
however if it had been - 3, then > becomes <
If you multiply or divide by a negative number, you must reverse the arrow.
ok thank you.
this is subtractive property of equality and multiplcative property of equality right?
To solve the inequality n/3 + 5 > 4, we want to find the values of n that make the inequality true. Here's how you can solve it step by step:
Step 1: Subtract 5 from both sides of the inequality to isolate n/3.
n/3 > 4 - 5
This simplifies to:
n/3 > -1
Step 2: Multiply both sides of the inequality by 3 to get rid of the fraction.
3 * (n/3) > 3 * (-1)
This simplifies to:
n > -3
So, the solution to the inequality is n > -3. This means that any value of n greater than -3 will make the inequality true.
Keep in mind that when you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative number, the direction of the inequality sign must be reversed. Since we multiplied both sides by a positive number (3), the inequality sign remains unchanged.
I hope this helps you understand how to solve the inequality.
