Question

Write the inequality and solve for the following problem:

The result of 6 subtracted from a number n is at least 2. (1 point)
n – 2 > 6; n > 8
n – 6 ≥ 2; n ≥ 8
n + 6 ≥ 2; n ≤ 4
n + 6 ≥ 2; n ≥ 4

Answer 1

B

Answer 2

The reasoning is as follows:

"6 subtracted from some number n" is:

n - 6

And "is at least 2" is :

>=2

Answer 3

The second part of the answer is derived from adding 6 to each side. That also preserves the direction of the inequality sign.
