n > -3 now ??
OpenStudy (amitrashok):
no you have to take out the negative sign
OpenStudy (amitrashok):
because you are multipliing two negatives together so it will be a positive
OpenStudy (sarahjoy26):

I'm confused. @amitrashok
OpenStudy (sarahjoy26):
Because if a number greater than 3 was substituted with n, the result would not be greater than 3.
OpenStudy (sarahjoy26):
@VelvetRoux How did you get the answer?
OpenStudy (sarahjoy26):
???? Nevermind I am so confused. Nevermind. I give up.
