Answer:

n - 8 ≥ 10

n ≥ 18

Explanation:

Hello!

8 less than the number n can be represented as n - 8.

To be atleast 10, we can have values greater than 10 and equal to 10, but cannot be less than 10 . We can use the ≥ symbol to represent this.

The inequality would be n - 8 ≥ 10

Solving for n:

  • n - 8 ≥ 10
  • n ≥ 18

n has to be greater than or equal to 18
