Question

solve 3n+11<17 or -3n>12. which is the best description of the solution set?
A. n < 2 or n > -4
B. n < 2 or n < -4
C. n < 2
D. n < -4

Answer 1

Just solve for n in both inequality:
-3n>12 (divide by -3 on both sides, NOTE: if you divide by a negative number you
reverse the inequality symbol)
So n<4
Can you solve for 'n' in the other inequality?

Answer 2

Sorry i meant n<-4

Answer 3

okay umm so the second one isn<2?

Answer 4

Good so now we have:
n<2 or n<-4. Note that n<2 solutions also covers the solutions for n<-4.
So we can write this as a single inequality.

Answer 5

wait im all confused!!!

Answer 6

but last time i put that i go tit wrong

Answer 7

I am not finished.
A solution for n<2 is -5 right.
A solution for n<-4 is -5 right.
So we can write it as a single inequality because the inequality symbols are the same:
Answer would be n<2, which also includes all the solutions for n<-4

Answer 8

okay

Answer 9

Do you understand? I can draw you a diagram if u r still confused

Answer 10

i guess that wold be a little helpful....so the answer would be c?

Answer 11
