Question

How do you solve `2\frac{3}{4} - n \leq - 3\frac{5}{8}`?

Answer 1

`n >= 6 3/8`

Explanation:

In working with inequalities, try to make and keep the variable positive. This avoids any issues with changing the inequality sign around.

`2 3/4+3 5/8 <= n" "larr` move the variable to the RHS

`5 (6+5)/8 <=n`

`5 11/8 <= n`

`6 3/8 <= n`

`n >= 6 3/8`
