this is pretty simple you're going to vvant to get the n alone

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, how do I do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

give me a second.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright.

The problem to solve is: -6n1/2 First, let's work on the left hand side of your inequality, the -6n This means, for instance, to see if it can be simplified at all. Multiply n and 6 Multiply n and 1 The n just gets copied along. The answer is n n 6*n evaluates to 6n Because of the minus sign 6n becomes - 6n The answer is -6n So, all-in-all, the left hand side of your inequality can be written as: -6n Now, let's work on the right hand side of your inequality, the 1/2 1/2 evaluates to The right hand side of your inequality can be written as: So with these (any) simplifications, the inequality we'll set out to solve is: -6n To isolate the n, we have to divide both sides of the inequality by the other "stuff" (variables or coefficients) around the n on the left side of the inequality. The last step is to divide both sides of the inequality by -6 like this: To divide n by 1 The n just gets copied along in the numerator. The answer is n -6n ÷ -6 = n 1/2 ÷ -6 = \[1/2 * 1/6\]

that vvill result in -1/12

Ah, I see, ok, thank you.
