n greater than 28.8
Your wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's solve the inequality correctly:
45n - 12 > 24
Add 12 to both sides:
45n > 36
Divide both sides by 45:
n > 36/45
Simplify the fraction:
n > 4/5
So, all possible values for the number are greater than 4/5 or approximately 0.8.
45n - 12 > 24
Add 12 to both sides:
45n > 36
Divide both sides by 45:
n > 36/45
Simplify the fraction:
n > 4/5
So, all possible values for the number are greater than 4/5 or approximately 0.8.
