Write an inequality. Then solve.

Answer 1

1/2n + 9 <= -8

can you solve that ?

Answer 2

1. subtract 9 from both sides
2. divide both sides by 1/2

Answer 3

Whats negative one divided by one half?

Answer 4

1/2n + 9 <= -8 --- subtract 9
1/2n <= -8 - 9
1/2n <= - 17 -- divide by 1/2
n <= -17/(1/2)
n <= -17 * 2/1
n <= - 34

Answer 5

do you understand what I did ? Do you have any questions ?

Answer 6
