Question

how can you isolate n?
-2n + 7 ≥ 1

• 7 - 7 subtract 7 on both sides.

-2n ≥ -6 ? on both sides. ? the symbol.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the inequality

We have \(-2n \geq -6\). To isolate \(n\), we need to divide both sides by the coefficient of \(n\), which is \(-2\).

Step2: Recall the rule for inequalities

When we divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, we must reverse the inequality symbol. So we divide both sides by \(-2\) and reverse the \(\geq\) symbol to \(\leq\).

Answer:

First dropdown: Divide by \(-2\)
Second dropdown: Reverse
