\n" ); document.write( "is less than the number
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6%28n-9%29%3Cn\"$
\n" ); document.write( "now solve for n
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6n+-+54+%3C+n\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-54+%3C+-5n\"$
\n" ); document.write( "dividing by a negative number flips the sign ***you must do this***
\n" ); document.write( " $\"54%2F5+%3E+n\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
