Question

How do you solve and graph 5n−1<−16 or −3n−1<8?

Answer 1

5n-1<-16. -3n-1<8

5n<-16+1. -8-1<3n

5n<-15. -9<3n

n<-15/5. -9/3<n

n<-5. -3<n

don't do on graph

the point with out circle shows that the inequality continue

Answer 2

Answer: Answer for 5n-1<-16 is n<-3 green    Answer for -3n-1<8 is n>-3 Pink

Step-by-step explanation:

5n-1<-16 or -3n-1<8

+1      +1           +1     +1
5n<-15             -3n<8

Divide by 5      Divide by 3

n<-3                  n>-3
