8n-10%3C6-2n
The first step would be to add 10 to post sides
8n-10%2B10%3C6-2n%2B10
notice the -10 and 10 make 0. So now the -10 is gone from that side.
8n%3C-2n%2B16
Now you want to add 2n to each side
8n%2B2n%3C-2n%2B2n%2B16
Now the -2n and 2n make 0.
10n%3C16
divide each side by 10
10n%2F10%3C16%2F10
for 10n%2F10 the 10's cancel each other out, leaving you with just 1n or n.
n%3C16%2F10
simplify the fraction
n%3C8%2F5
What ever you want to move get rid of, you would do the opposite
