Chapter 8.7, Problem 67STP

To determine

Find the correct option for the value of the variable n.

Answer to Problem 67STP

Option $\text{J}:-10$ is the correct option.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

If $n+15>4$ , then n could be which of the following values?

4 options are: $\text{F}:-13;\text{G}:-12;\text{H}:-11;\text{J}:-10$

Concept Used:

The required inequality: $n+15>4$

Calculation:

The required inequality: $n+15>4$

Solve for n:

  $\begin{array}{l}n+15>4\\ n+15-15>4-15\\ n>-11\end{array}$

As $n>-11$ , so option $\text{J}:-10$ is the correct option.

Thus, option $\text{J}:-10$ is the correct option.
