To find the value of the unknown integer \( n \), we need to solve the inequalities provided:
-
For the first inequality: \[ n - 3 \geq 7 \] Adding 3 to both sides gives: \[ n \geq 10 \]
-
For the second inequality: \[ n + 5 < 16 \] Subtracting 5 from both sides gives: \[ n < 11 \]
Now we combine the results from both inequalities:
- From the first inequality, we have \( n \geq 10 \).
- From the second inequality, we have \( n < 11 \).
Combining these gives: \[ 10 \leq n < 11 \]
The only integer that satisfies this condition is: \[ n = 10 \]
Thus, the value of the unknown integer \( n \) is \( 10 \).
The correct response is: n is equal to 10.
