Question 54419
From the problem description, you can write,
If n is the required number, then:
{{{(-4)(n)-9 > 7}}} Simplifying this, you get:
{{{-4n-9 > 7}}} Add 9 to both sides of this inequality:
{{{-4n > 16}}} Now divide both sides by -4...don't forget to reverse the sign:
{{{n < -4}}}

The only integer in the list of possible answers that is less than -4 is -5, so answer d is the correct selection.
