Question #0de68

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

Divide each side of the inequality by `color(blue)(-2.8)` to solve for `n` while keeping the inequality balanced. However, because we are multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative term we must reverse the inequality operator:

`9.8/color(blue)(-2.8) color(red)(<) (-2.8n)/color(blue)(-2.8)`

`-3.5 color(red)(<) (color(blue)(cancel(color(black)(-2.8)))n)/cancel(color(blue)(-2.8))`

`-3.5 color(red)(<) n`

To write this in terms of `n` we can reverse or "flip" the entire inequality:

`n > -3.5`
