Question

Solve and show 4 steps to the solution of this inequality
7n + 1 > 169

Answer 1

You had 3, theres still one more needed. Last step is wrong

Answer 2

do we draw a closed solution or open solution

Answer 3

To solve the inequality 7n + 1 > 169, follow these steps:

Step 1: Subtract 1 from both sides of the inequality:
7n + 1 - 1 > 169 - 1
7n > 168

Step 2: Divide both sides of the inequality by 7:
(7n)/7 > 168/7
n > 24

Step 3: Rewrite the inequality with n isolated on the left side:
n > 24

Step 4: The solution to the inequality is n > 24.

Answer 4

Apologies for the confusion. You are correct that there is one more step needed. Let's continue:

Step 4: Divide both sides of the inequality by 7:
n > 24

Since there are no further simplifications or operations to perform, the inequality is now in its simplest form. Therefore, the solution to the inequality is n > 24.

Answer 5

In this case, the solution is an open solution. Since the inequality is n > 24, it means that any value of n greater than 24 would satisfy the inequality. Thus, we represent the solution on a number line by using an open circle at 24 and shading everything to the right of it.
