Solve the inequality, then graph the solution.
-3n-5>-4n-7
1- Add -2n to each side to begin solving for n.
-2n+(-2n) -5 > -4n+(-2n) -7
-5 > -6n-7
2- Add 7 to each side.
-5+7 > -6n-7+7
2 >-6n
3- Divide each side by -6. Note: In inequalities, the sign changes when you divide by a negative number.
2/-6 < -6n/-6
-1/3 < n
4. The solution is -1/3 < n. The graph is shown below.
