Question

How do you solve `30>1/2n`?

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

Multiply each side of the inequality by `color(red)(2)` to solve for `n` while keeping the inequality balanced:

`color(red)(2) xx 30 > color(red)(2) xx 1/2n`

`60 > cancel(color(red)(2)) xx 1/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(2)))n`

`60 > n`

To solve in terms of `n` we need to reverse or "flip" the inequality:

`n < 60`
