HELP! Translate the following statement to an inequality. Then, find the solution.
Three times the sum of a number and five is greater than or equal to negative six.
n ≥ -7
n ≤ -7
n ≥ -3
n ≤ -3
3*(n+5) >= -6 => 3n+15 >= -6 3n+21 >= 0 n >= -21/3 n >= -7 answer A.
As long as you don't multiply or divide by a negative number, you can solve these as if they are equations. If you do multiply/divide by a negative, greater thans turn in to smaller thans and vice-versa.
