Answer:

[tex]1 \le n \le 10[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

Guess: n

Required

Write a compound inequality for the number

The first clue:

Multiply n by 2: 2n

Subtract 5: 2n - 5

The result is at least -3: [tex]2n - 5 \ge -3[/tex] (at least means [tex]\ge[/tex])

And

The result is at most -3: [tex]2n - 5 \le 15[/tex] (at most means [tex]\le[/tex])

So, we have:

[tex]2n - 5 \ge -3[/tex] and [tex]2n - 5 \le 15[/tex]

Solve for n

[tex]2n - 5 \ge -3[/tex]

[tex]2n \ge -3 + 5[/tex]

[tex]2n \ge 2\\[/tex]

[tex]n \ge 1[/tex]

[tex]2n - 5 \le 15[/tex]

[tex]2n \le 15 + 5[/tex]

[tex]2n \le 20[/tex]

[tex]n \le 10[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]n \ge 1[/tex] and [tex]n \le 10[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]1 \le n[/tex] and [tex]n \le 10[/tex]

Combine

[tex]1 \le n \le 10[/tex]
