Solve the open sentence. –3 ≤ n + 6 ≤ 7 A. n ≤ –9 and n ≤ 6 B. n ≥ –9 and n ≤ 1 C. n ≤ 3 and n ≤ 7 D. n ≥ 9 and n ≤ 7

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

The only step you need to do here is to isolate the variable. Do you have any idea how you'd do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me peaz

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

Sure. All need to do to remove something being added to a variable in an algebraic equation is to subtract the same number from all sides. In this case, there's three to subtract it from.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you do that

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

Allow me to give you an example.

|dw:1401326594921:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3<n<1 - -

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

Keep in mind the rule "What you do to one side [of an algebraic equation] must be done to all other sides". you did the right side correctly, but you left the left side as it was before you should have subtracted 6.

b

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

Correct!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx what grade are you in im in 8th going to 9th

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow are you home school or no

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

Nope. I just hated my math instructors, and frankly, I figured I could teach in a way that made more sense to students than your book's methods. I found mine when I did everything the long, complicated way, so I thought I could share, over time, my methods.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool so your almost like a mentor yeah keep on living :p

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

I shall certainly try! By the way, if you feel I've helped, please leave a testimonial for me. It really helps! Thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (noseboy908):
