text: what is 3n - 16 <or = 8n + 29? and if someone is going to write a math problem for the answer dont plan on getting any stars =) 3n-16<8n+29 move the 3n over with the 8n then you should have -16<5n+29 ...then move over the the 29 so -29-16< 5n ....the you have -45n if you do it with addition you do it the same way but your answer will be -9=n
