yes

subtract 8 from thirty
add 7n to both sides to negate the -7n

Add 7n to both sides, giving:
30 < 10n

Divide both sides by 10, giving:
3 < n, the answer, which means that the solution set is all numbers greater than 3.

38-8=30, so

30 - 7n < 3n

Add 7n to both sides:
30 < 10n

Divide by 10:
33.

38-8<10n (Move -7n to the other side of the equation)
30<10n (Simplify)

n>3

38 - 8 - 7n < 3n
30 < 3n +7n
30 < 10n
3 < n or if you prefer n > 3

well, you need to move your variable to once side.

38-8=30

30-7n>3n
add 7n to both sides
30>10n
Divide both sides by 10 to get the variable alone
3>n
