Question

Solve and describe the steps you took to solve: 5(n-5)>2(n+6)

Answer 1

you're going to vvant to solve for each side first. multiply vvhats outside the parenthesis and inside. you'll get 5n - 25 >2n + 12

Answer 2

you have to use distributive property.
5(n-5) = 5n-25 because you multiply 5 by n and -5
2(n+6) = 2n+12 because you multiply 2 by n and 6
then you have 5n-25>2n+12
then combine like terms:
5n-2n= 3n
12+25=37
3n>37
divide 3 by both sides and you should end up with n>12.3333....

forgive me if im wrong but im almost positive
