Answer:

n ≥ -17

Explanation:

Writing a symbolic inequality, we get:

10 - 3n ≤ 61

Solve this for 3n by adding 3n to both sides of this equation:

10 ≤ 61 + 3n

Solve for n by subtracting 61 from both sides and then dividing all of the resulting terms by 3:

-51 ≤ 3n (divide both sides by 3):

-17 ≤ n, or

n ≥ -17
