"Twenty-eight is more than four times another number" can be shown by the inequality 28 > 4n. Select the values of n which could possibly make this a true statement.

Answer 1

To analyze the inequality \( 28 > 4n \) and find the possible values of \( n \), we will first rearrange the inequality.

Starting with the given inequality: \[ 28 > 4n \]

We can divide both sides by 4 (since 4 is positive, this will not change the direction of the inequality): \[ \frac{28}{4} > n \] This simplifies to: \[ 7 > n \] or equivalently, \[ n < 7 \]

Thus, any value of \( n \) that is less than 7 will satisfy the inequality \( 28 > 4n \).

In conclusion, the values of \( n \) which would potentially make the statement true are any real numbers less than 7 (for example, \( n \) could be 6, 5, 0, -1, etc.).
