Write the sentence as an inequality.

A number n  minus 3 is at least –5.
The inequality is 
.

Question 2
Solve the inequality.
The solution is 
.

The sentence "A number \( n \) minus 3 is at least –5" can be written as:

### Inequality:
\[
n - 3 \geq -5
\]

### Solving the inequality:
1. Add 3 to both sides to isolate \( n \):
\[
n - 3 + 3 \geq -5 + 3
\]
\[
n \geq -2
\]

### Solution:
\[
n \geq -2
\]

1. What is the difference between "at least" and "at most" in inequalities?
2. How would the inequality change if it said "less than" instead of "at least"?
3. How do you represent the solution \( n \geq -2 \) on a number line?
4. How would you solve the inequality \( n + 4 \leq 3 \)?
5. How can inequalities be used in real-life situations?

**Tip:** When solving inequalities, always remember to reverse the inequality sign if you multiply or divide by a negative number.
