How Do You Solve an Inequality With Variables on Both Sides?

Solve the inequality for n:
3n-1 > 5n-13

Summary

Notes

    1. 'n' is just a variable here
    1. Notice there is an 'n' term on both sides, these are like terms
    2. The two 'n' terms are '3n' and '5n'
    3. 'n' is just a variable here
    1. We need to perform some algebraic operation in order to group the like terms on one side
    2. The like terms are '3n' and '5n'
