Question 225210: 4n-24%3C=3%284n%2B8%29

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