The result of 6 subtracted from a number n is at least 2. What numbers are solutions?

Question

A. n-2 > 6; n > 8
B. n-6 > 2; n > 8
C. n+6 > 2; n < 4
D. n+6 > 2; n < 4

Answer 1

The correct answer is B.

If "n" is the number, then the result of subtracting 6 from "n" is at least 2 can be represented as:

n - 6 ≥ 2

By adding 6 to both sides of the inequality, we have:

n - 6 + 6 ≥ 2 + 6

Which simplifies to:

n ≥ 8

So the solution is n > 8, which matches option B.
