Q. Solve for nn.\newline5>n2>15-5 > n - 2 > -15\newlineWrite your answer as a compound inequality with integers.\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 7>n>17-7 > n > -17\newline(B) 3>n>17-3 > n > -17\newline(C) 3>n>13-3 > n > -13\newline(D) 7>n>13-7 > n > -13
  1. Solve Right Part: Solve the right part of the compound inequality.\newlineWe have -5 > n - 2 > -15. Let's first isolate nn on the right side by adding 22 to all parts of the inequality.\newline-5 + 2 > n - 2 + 2 > -15 + 2\newline-3 > n > -13
  2. Write Compound Inequality: Write the compound inequality correctly.\newlineThe inequality -3 > n > -13 is equivalent to -13 < n < -3. This is the correct way to write the compound inequality, with nn in the middle.
  3. Compare with Choices: Compare the solution to the given choices.\newlineThe correct compound inequality is -13 < n < -3. Now, let's compare this to the given choices:\newline(A) -7 > n > -17\newline(B) -3 > n > -17\newline(C) -3 > n > -13\newline(D) -7 > n > -13\newlineThe correct choice that matches our solution is (C) -3 > n > -13.
