n/-3 + 5 > 4

1 answer

n / - 3 = - n / 3

- n / 3 + 5 > 4

Multiply both sides by 3.

- n + 15 > 12

Subtract 15 to both sides.

- n > - 3

Multiply both sides by - 1.

When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must change the direction of the inequality sign.

n < 3
