\[32-5n \ge7-5(n-5)\]

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

I'll do an example for you: \(-x+23<2-2(x-8)\) Distribute the -2 \(-x+23<2-2x+16\) Simplify the right hand side \(-x+23<-2x+18\) Add 2x on both sides \(-x+23 + 2x<-2x+18 + 2x\) \(x + 23 < 18\) Subtract 23 on both sides \(x + 23 -23 < 18 - 23\) \(x < 18 - 23\) \(x < -5\)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Now, it's almost like the inequality is an equal sign. The only difference is: When you divide by a negative number, you will have to flip the sign. So can you do the question on your own now?

@okdutchman7

OpenStudy (okdutchman7):

32−5n≥7−5(n−5)

@onnnnnyyy what dont' you understand >.> @TheSmartOne explained it al

alones (alones):

@okdutchman7 please explain

OpenStudy (onnnnnyyy):

that's not my question he just did an example...

OpenStudy (okdutchman7):

\[32-5n \ge 7-5n+25\]

OpenStudy (okdutchman7):

\[32 - 5n \ge 32 - 5n\]

OpenStudy (okdutchman7):

\[32 \ge 32\]

OpenStudy (okdutchman7):

So they are equal to each other.

What do you need to find?

OpenStudy (okdutchman7):

OpenStudy is for help not doing your homework for you so if that didn't help you're on your own.

alones (alones):

32−5n≥7−5(n−5) simplify both sides of the inequality. −5n+32≥−5n+32 then sdd 5n to both sides liek this −5n+32+5n≥−5n+32+5n 32≥32 then from here you subtract 32 from both sides. 32−32≥32−32 0≥0 @onnnnnyyy do you understand?

OpenStudy (onnnnnyyy):

I don't think that's right cause its not on the number line
