Verified Answer :

  1. Write as an algebraic equation:

    12 + n ≤ 2n - 8

    2. Solve for n.

    12 + n - 12 ≤ 2n - 8 - 12

    n ≤ 2n - 20

    n - 2n ≤ 2n - 20 - 2n

    -n ≤ -20

    Multiply both sides by -1 (this means you must flip the inequality sign).

    n ≥ 20

    FINAL ANSWER: n ≥ 20
