Find the number of integers $n$ that satisfy both of the inequalities $4n + 3 < 253$ and $-7n + 5 < 24$.
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.
