anonymous · Answer

is it $\frac{g-3}{7}>5$ ?

anonymous · Answer

Get rid of fractions immediately. ie Multiply by 7. Always your best option

anonymous · Answer

hello!!

anonymous · Answer

@satellite73 It doesn't really matter anyway. It's a fraction so you should multiply by 7.

anonymous · Answer

good point

anonymous · Answer

actually try $n+n+2\leq 18$

anonymous · Answer

this tell you $2n+2\leq 18$
$$2n\leq 16$$
$$n\leq 8$$so you don't have too many pairs of odd integers to write

anonymous · Answer

You should probably set a lower bound: 0
$$0 < n + (n + 2) \le 18$$$$n \in \mathbb{Z}$$
