solve -2n+5 greater than 7
-----
-2n + 5 > 7
---
Add 2n to both sides to get:
5 > 2n+7
---
Subtract 7 from both sides
2n < -2
---
Divide by 2 to get:
n < -1
============
=================
You could also work it as follows:
-2n + 5 > 7
Subtract 5 from both sides to get:
-2n > 2
Divide by sides by -2 remembering that when
you divide by a negative the order of the
inequality changes.
---
n < -1
