Answer:

n ≥ 3

Explanation:

For the equation, we are trying to isolate n. You can treat the greater than of equal to sign just like an equals sign for this problem.

The only step here is to add 8 to both sides of our inequality. When solving inequalities and equation, we need to do all of our steps to both sides.

n ≥ 3 is our answer.

We add 8 because we need to cancel out the -8 on the left side. -8+8=0, so that is canceled. Because we need to do all steps on both sides, we also add 8 to the -5. -5+8=3, so that is the right side of our inequality.
