Question

Solve 6(n + 2) < -72

  1. n < -14
  2. n < 35 over 3
  3. n < -10

The correct answer is: n < -14


    6 left parenthesis n plus 2 right parenthesis space less than space minus 72
e x t r e m e space g o a l space i s space t o space f i n d space n
f i r s t space w e space h a v e space t o space r e m o v e space 6 space f r o m space 6 left parenthesis n plus 2 right parenthesis
b y space d i v i d i n g space b y space 6 space b o t h space s i d e
6 left parenthesis n plus 2 right parenthesis space cross times space 1 over 6 space less than space minus 72 space cross times space 1 over 6
n plus 2 space less than space minus 12
s u b s t r a c t space b o t h space s i d e space b y space 2
n plus 2 space minus 2 space less than space minus 12 space minus 2
n space less than 14
