Question

14 > -2n + 4; n = -5Check whether n = -5 satisfies the inequality?help

Answer 1

Substitute -5 for n into the given inequality 14 > -2n +4.

$\begin{gathered} 14>-2(-5)+4 \\ 14>10+4 \\ 14>14 \end{gathered}$

which is not possible, since 14 = 14. Thus, n = -5 does not satisfy the inequality. Hence it is not a solution.
