If x and n are integers, is the sum of x and n less than zero?


1. x+3 <n> 2n

2.-2x>2n


my approach:

question asks: is x + n < 0? rephrased to is x < - n? Or x +n <0> 2n rephrased x<n sufficient

my answer is D, yet qa is b.

What did i do wrong on statement 1?
Appetite for 700 and I scraped my plate!
