Answer:

n<2

Explanation:

Subtract 20 from both sides 20-3n-20>7n-20

Simplify -3n>7n-20

Subtract 7n from both sides -3n-7n>7n-20-7n

Simplify again -10n>-20

multiply both sides by -1 (-10n)(-1) < (-20)(-1)

Simplify 10n<20

Divide both sides by 10 Then you get your answer

Answer:

n>5

Explanation:

move the 20 onto the other side of the > by subtracting 20 on the left side and adding 20 on the right side

now you have

-3n>7n-20

move the 7n onto the other side the same way. subtract 7n from one side and add it to -3n. now you have

4n>20

this is called adding similar terms or inverse operations what ever you wanna call it. Now you divide N by 4. This is because 4n can be simplified to 4×N and the opposite of multiplication is division. you do the same on the other side.

n/4>20/4.

you are left with n>5
