Question

-2(n+2)+6<16

Answer 1

distribute the -2 to the parentheses first. it should become \[-2n-4+6<16\]

Answer 2

simplify that equation and you should get \[-2n+2<16\]

Answer 3

now subtract 2 from both sides of the equation. \[-2n<14\]

Answer 4

divide both sides by \[-2n\], and the equation will become \[n<-7\] this is not your final answer though.

Answer 5

be sure to flip the sign of the equation when dividing by a negative number. your final answer is \[n>-7\]
