Question

Translate the following statement to an inequality. Then, find the solution.
Three times the sum of a number and five is greater than or equal to negative six.

n ≥ -7
n ≤ -7
n ≥ -3
n ≤ -3

Answer 1

let the no. be n.
according to question:
3n+5 greater than or equal to -6
subtracting both sides by 5,
3n+5-5 greater than equal to -6-5
3n greater than or equal to -11
dividing both sides by 3,
n greater than or equal to -11/3
option c will be correct.
please mark me brainliest

Answer 2

$3n + 5 \geqslant - 6$
$3n \geqslant - 6 - 5$
$3n \geqslant - 11$
$n \geqslant - 11 \div 3$

$n \geqslant - 3.6666666667$
