Answer 1

Answer: n<2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

  n < 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This inequality can be solved the same way the corresponding 3-step linear equation would be solved.

  8n +20 < 6n +24 . . . . . given

  2n +20 < 24 . . . . . . . . step 1, subtract 6n to isolate the variable on the left

  2n < 4 . . . . . . . . . . . . step 2, subtract 20 to separate constants and variable terms

  n < 2 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of the variable
