Just write an equation for what it says;
" Five times the difference between a number and four is greater than the quotient of four times the number and six."
5(n-4) >
Multiply both sides by 6
30(n-4) > 4n
30n - 120 > 4n
30n - 4n > 120
26n > 120
n >
n > 4.615
"Find the smallest integer that will satisfy the inequality."
n = 5
