Question

An inequality is shown below:

−np − 5 ≤ 4(c − 2)

Which of the following solves for n?

n ≥ − the quantity 4 times c minus 3 all over p
n ≥ − the quantity 4 times c minus 13 all over p
n ≤ − the quantity 4 times c minus 3 all over p
n ≤ − the quantity 4 times c minus 13 all over p

Answer 2

Isolate n
\[−n p − 5 ≤ 4(c − 2)\]
Add 5 to both sides
\[−n p ≤ 4(c − 2) + 5\]
Divide both sides by p
\[−n ≤ \frac{ 4(c − 2) + 5 }{ p }\]
Multiply both sides by -1. Remember that when you divide or multiply by a negative number, you must change the sign of the inequality.
\[n ≥ -\frac{ 4(c − 2) + 5 }{ p }\]
