Question

12 times a number plus 35 is greater than 7.

Answer 1

To solve the inequality, let's start by translating the problem into an equation:

12n + 35 > 7

Now, we will isolate the variable 'n' by subtracting 35 from both sides:

12n + 35 - 35 > 7 - 35

Simplifying:

12n > -28

Finally, divide both sides of the inequality by 12:

12n/12 > -28/12

Which simplifies to:

n > -7/3

So, the solution to the inequality is n > -7/3.
