Hi Wesley,
My problem is n/4-9>5. I have done easier ones like 5+2c<-9 my answer for this was 2c<-4.
:
First, be aware that you have not finished the easier one.
2c%3C-4
2c%2F2%3C-4%2F2
c%3C-2
:
Now to attack the harder one:
n%2F4-9%3E5
n%2F4-9%2B9%3E5%2B9
n%2F4%3E14
4n%2F4%3E4%2A14
n%3E56
:
You must isolate the variable by doing invere operations to the numbers you need to move. What ever you do to one side of the equation you have to do to the other.
Happy Calculating!!!
