an inequality is shown below: -np-4<=2(c-3) which of the following solves for n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u multiply 2 by c and -3 and u get -np-4<2c-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then u add 4 to both sides. do u know wat u get then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what numbers do you add 4 onto?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since u want the -4 to go away, u add it to its self and on the other side of the equation u add it to -6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with that you get -np<2c-2 do u understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-np>2c-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes awesome :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then u divide p by both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide p from what numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, u really cant divide p, so u just put a line and a p underneath it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it becomes -n>2c-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then u multiply -n w -1 and u get a positive n yes, and do u see in the answer choices to how they have the p?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and w that u flip the less than sign to greater than, just like u have and yes the answer is C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anytime :)
