$\"4n-24%3C=3%284n%2B8%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "First, distribute the 3:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4n-24%3C=12n%2B24%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then we want to move our #s to one side and our n terms to the other:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4n-24%2B24%3C=12n%2B24%2B24%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4n%3C=12n%2B48%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4n-12n%3C=12n-12n%2B48%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-8n%3C=48%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "We want to divide both sides by -8 next, but since we are dividing by a negative number, the inequality flips:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-8n%2F-8%3E=48%2F-8%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n%3E=-6%29\"$ , which is our answer. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
