Solve for n. -20 < n - 1 < 16 Write your answer as a compound inequality with integers. Choices: (A)-19 < n < 17 (B)-21 < n < 15 (C)-19 < n < 15 (D)-21 < n < 17

Analyze Compound Inequality: Analyze the given compound inequality -20 < n - 1 < 16. Which operation should we use to isolate n? In n - 1, 1 is being subtracted from n. Addition should be used to isolate n.Use Addition to Isolate: Solve for n by adding 1 to all three parts of the inequality. -20 < n - 1 < 16 -20 + 1 < n - 1 + 1 < 16 + 1 -19 < n < 17
