 -3n<7n-20<3n

 

We can split this into two parts

 

-3n < 7n - 20                                    7n - 20  <  3n

              subtract 7n from both sides

 

-10n <  - 20                                   -20  <  - 4n

 

divide both sides by -10                divide both sides by  -4

 

Becuse we are dividing both sides by a negative, reverse the inequality signs

 

n > 2                                               5  >  n

 

n > 2                   and                        n  <  5

 

So....the solution is

 

2  < n   <   5

 

So....the sum of the integers that satisfy this   is

 

3 +  4   =    

 

7
