Are you missing an = > or < in the first part?

So we can arrange things around, since we are not dividing or multiplying by any negative numbers the inequality sign will not flip around. So... 9 + 3n >= 3 or 5n < 30 Looking at 5n < 30 we can simply divide by 5, so n <30 Next 9 + 3n >= 3 we can start by subtracting 9 to get 3n >= -6 then divide by 3 to get n >=-2

sorry that first part should be n<6 NOT n<30
