Answer :
We start with the inequality
[tex]$$
n - 68 \leq -141.
$$[/tex]
Step 1: Add 68 to both sides
To isolate [tex]$n$[/tex], add [tex]$68$[/tex] to both sides:
[tex]$$
n - 68 + 68 \leq -141 + 68.
$$[/tex]
This simplifies to:
[tex]$$
n \leq -141 + 68.
$$[/tex]
Step 2: Simplify the right-hand side
Compute the sum on the right-hand side:
[tex]$$
-141 + 68 = -73.
$$[/tex]
Thus, the inequality becomes:
[tex]$$
n \leq -73.
$$[/tex]
Final Answer
[tex]$$
n \leq -73.
