Exercise 21 Page 58

Substitute -5 into the given inequality and then simplify.

Yes

Practice makes perfect
We can determine whether -5 is a solution by substituting it into the inequality and simplifying using the order of operations.
14≥-2n+4
14 \stackrel{?}\geq \text{-}2({\color{#0000FF}{\text{-}5}})+4
14\stackrel{?}\geq10+4
14≥14
Since 14 is equal to 14, - 5 is a solution to the given inequality.
