1-2n < -8-n or 9n-1 < 2n-8
note that the word "or" makes this a disjunction inequality
****************************************************************
a) 1-2n < -8-n
-n < -9
n > 9
****************************************************************
b) 9n-1 < 2n-8
7n < -7
n < -1
****************************************************************
The values of n are either greater than 9 or less than -1
