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, we can start by adding 12 to both sides:
45n > 36
Next, we can divide both sides by 45 to isolate the variable n:
n > 36/45
Simplifying the right-hand side, we have:
n > 4/5
Therefore, the possible values of the number n are all values greater than 4/5.
