If you expand the left hand side, the inequality becomes


3n+18 \geq 3n+8

As you can see,
3n appears on both sides, which means that it cancels out. You can subtract
3n from both sides to get


18 \geq 8

and this is clearly always true. If you interpreted the inequality with words, it would sound like

"For which values of n is 18 greater than 8"

Since the inequality does not depend on n anymore and the remaining part is true (18 is indeed greater than 8), every possible value of n satisfies the inequality.
