Exercise 33 Page 174

Substitute - 3 into the given inequality and then simplify.

Yes, see solution.

Practice makes perfect
We can determine whether n= - 3 is a solution by substituting it into the inequality and simplifying using the order of operations.
6÷ n ≤ - 5
6÷ ( - 3) ≤ - 5
6/- 3 ≤ - 5
- 6/3 ≤ - 5
- 2 ≤ - 5 ✓
Since - 2 is less than or equal to - 5, this means that n= - 3 is a solution.
