Question

1. $-3(n - 7) leq 72$

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by -3

$\frac{-3(n-7)}{-3} \geq \frac{72}{-3}$
Note: Inequality flips when dividing by negative

Step2: Simplify both sides

$n - 7 \geq -24$

Step3: Add 7 to both sides

$n - 7 + 7 \geq -24 + 7$

Step4: Simplify to solve for n

$n \geq -17$

Answer:

$n \geq -17$
