Find the number of integers n that satisfy both of the inequalities:

1. 4n+3<253
2. 7n+5<24

Solution:

1. For the first inequality, solve for n:
   4n+3<253

   Subtract 3 from both sides:
   4n<250

   Divide both sides by 4:
   n<2504=62.5

2. For the second inequality, solve for n:
   7n+5<24

   Subtract 5 from both sides:
   7n<19

   Divide both sides by -7 (and reverse the inequality sign):
   n>197

3. To satisfy both inequalities, n must be an integer between 19/7 and 62.5.

4. Count the integers within this range:
   -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., 61, 62

5. There are 66 integers within this range that satisfy both inequalities.

So, the number of integers n that satisfy both inequalities is 66.
