Question

How do you solve `6- 5+ n \geq 18`?

Answer 1

`n>=17`

Explanation:

So, let's first interpret this equation. Here's it in math terms:

`6-5+n>=18`

Let's put it into words
Six minus five plus n is greater than or equal to eighteen.

So, let's first solve both sides until we can't solve them anymore.

`6-5+n`
`1+n`

We can't simplify `1+n` any further because we don't know `n`. And the other side of the equation, `18` cannot be solved any more either.

So now we have

`1+n>=18`

Next, we want to subtract `1` from both sides of the equation. So

`1+n-1 >= 18-1`
`n+(1-1)>=17`
`n>=17`

And that's our answer. N can be any number greater than or equal to seventeen.

Cheers!
