This is an inequality (not an equation).


-2n-6%3E-8 Start with the given inequality.


-2n%3E-8%2B6 Add 6 to both sides.


-2n%3E-2 Combine like terms on the right side.


n%3C%28-2%29%2F%28-2%29 Divide both sides by -2 to isolate n. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


n%3C1 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is n%3C1
