n ≥ 14
n ≤ 16
n ≤ 14

Thanks

Answer 3

What is the answer

Answer 4

Correction: \(98 \ge 64+10.85+1.65x\)
Im afraid I cannot give you an answer as it goes against the rules.
I can guide you through though.

Answer 5

Ok but I see people giving answers

Answer 6

Could you DM me them?

First off add up 64 and 10.85, combine like terms

Answer 7

Which equals 74.85

Answer 8

Right
\(98≥74.85+1.65x\)
Now you want to isolate x, so you subtract 74.85 on both sides, eliminating it on the right side of the inequality

Answer 9

equals -24.85

Answer 10

Not quite
What is \(98-74.85\)?
