Answer:

n < 3

Explanation:

n can be any number greater than 3. It can e 4 or more....4+

4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 20, 100, 10,000,000,000

ANY NUMBERS GREATER THAN 3

How do I know?

Well we can solve this like it was an equation

24 > 18 + 2n

Subtract 18 on both sides

24 - 18 > 18 - 18 + 2n

6 > 2n

Now divide by 2 on both sides to isolate the variable "n"

6/2 > 2n/2

3 > n

Hope this helped!

Have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious day!
