Answer :
7n-2(n+5)< 3n-16
7n-2n+10<3n-16 Distribute the 2 into n+5
5n+10<3n-16 Subtract like figures
5n-3n+10<3n-3n-1 Subtract 3n from each side. (You want the variable on ONE side.)
2n+10-10<-16-10 Isolate the variable. Negative plus negative= bigger negative.
2n/2< -26/2 Negative divided by positive= smaller negative. Divide by 2 to isolate.
