Question

values of the number? Lucia wrote the inequality n n - 12 > 24, where n equals the
number, to help solve this problem. Solve her inequality. (1 point)
On > 15
On > 45
On 28.8
On> 9.6

Answer 1

The correct inequality to represent the problem is:

(n * 4/5) - 12 > 24

To solve this inequality, we can start by adding 12 to both sides:

(n * 4/5) > 36

Next, we can multiply both sides by 5/4 to isolate n:

n > 36 * (5/4)

n > 45

So, the correct solution to the inequality is:

n > 45

This means that all possible values of the number (n) are greater than 45.
