1. We need to get rid of those pesky parentheses. We do this by distributing the 3.
2. We need to get "n" by itself, so we add 9 to both sides.
3. Add like terms.
4. Now, we need to get rid of the -9, so we divide both sides by -9. Remember that dividing by negative numbers changes the direction of the "greater than or equal to" symbol.
5. We divide, and the negatives cancel.
