To solve the inequality, we can first isolate n on one side of the inequality.
n - 3/8 > -2/5
We can start by adding 3/8 to both sides of the inequality to eliminate the negative term on the left side.
n - 3/8 + 3/8 > -2/5 + 3/8
Simplifying, the left side cancels out:
n > -2/5 + 3/8
Next, we need to find a common denominator for -2/5 and 3/8, which is 40.
n > -2/5 * 8/8 + 3/8 * 5/5
Simplifying further, we get:
n > -16/40 + 15/40
Combining like terms, we have:
n > -1/40
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is n > -1/40.
Solve the inequality n minus three eighths is greater than negative two fifths for n.
