Beyond the Answer
To solve the inequality \( 12 + 7 < 5n + 3 \), we simplify it first. This gives: \[ 19 < 5n + 3 \] Next, we can subtract 3 from both sides: \[ 16 < 5n \] Dividing both sides by 5: \[ \frac{16}{5} < n \] This simplifies to: \[ 3.2 < n \] Since \( n \) must be a whole number, the smallest integer that satisfies this inequality is 4. Now, given that \( n \) must also be less than 10, the possible values of \( n \) are therefore \( 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, \) and \( 9 \). These are all the whole numbers \( n \) can take under the given conditions!
