Question 277460
 If a non-zero integer n is chosen such that (2-16/n) is an integer less than 6
Which of the following must be true of n ?
------
Solve (2-(16/n)) < 6
Factor out a "2" and divide both sides by it:
(1-(8/n) < 3
8/n > -2
------------
Check: n = -8
8/-8 > -2
-1 > -2
true
---
Check: n = -6
8/-6 > -2
-4/3 > -2
true
---
Check: n = -4
8/-2> -2
-4> -2
false
======
Answer: n could be -8 or n could be -6
