Question

Identify the conclusion of the statement. If 2n - 7 > 25, then n > 16.

a. 2n - 7 > 25

b. n > 16

c. 2n > 32

d. No conclusion can be made.

Answer 1

if we take the statement about the inequality and add 7 to both sides, we get 2n is greater than 32. Then dividing by 2, we can see that n is greater than 16 making the statement a true statement.

the conclusion is n > 16
