Twelve less than four-fifths of a number is more than 24. What are all the possible values of the number? Lucia wrote the inequality 45n−12>24 , where n equals the number, to help solve this problem. Solve her inequality

Answer 1

To solve the inequality 45n - 12 > 24, let's first add 12 to both sides of the inequality:

45n - 12 + 12 > 24 + 12
45n > 36

Next, divide both sides of the inequality by 45:

(45n)/45 > 36/45
n > 0.8

Therefore, the possible values of the number are any numbers greater than 0.8.
