Question

Can anybody help me solve
-np - 90 < 30

Answer 1

What do you need help solving. Treat is as if it was a regular equation. Pretend there is a = sign there.

Answer 2

Can you solve then?
Remember anytime you divide by a negative number, you switch the sign (in the end)

Answer 3

I have to solve for n

Answer 4

The question says - Solve. -np - 90 < 30 for n.

Answer 5

So, pretend you have: -np - 90 = 30

can you solve for n now?

Answer 6

How do I get the variable p to the other side

Answer 7

Divide.

Answer 8

It wouldn't be any different if there was a number on there. Same proceduce.

Answer 9

So I would have -n - 90 < 30/p ?

Answer 10

No.
First, add 90 to both sides, as i told you to do so earlier.
That way, you isolate the -np by itself.

Answer 11

Then you have: \(\sf \color{red}{-np < 30 + 90}\)

Answer 12

So now I have
-np < 120

Answer 13

Next divide by \(\sf \sf \color{red}{-p}\)

remeber i said when you divide by a negative number, you
re actually flipping the sign of the inequality.

Answer 14

And you've solved for it.

Answer 15

So -n>120/p is the answer?

Answer 16

Can you also help me with
5m - 3h = 45

Answer 17

No. you cannot have a negative answer, it must be positive! It wouldn't make sense to say a negative number is greater than a positive, assuming p > 0

Answer 18

5m-3h = 45
what are you solving for?

Answer 19

You need to be clear with your questions!

Answer 20

Don't worry bout it don't need help👋🏽
