n/3+5>4

Please help this is new and I do not understand it

3 answers

subtract five from both sides
n/3 > -1
n > -3

be careful though.
You are ok here because we multiplied by +3
however if it had been - 3, then > becomes <
If you multiply or divide by a negative number, you must reverse the arrow.
ok thank you.
this is subtractive property of equality and multiplcative property of equality right?
