Answer:
5n-10 < 6n-8
n - is the variable that's stands for the unspecified number
step 1. ten is less than 5 times a number
step 2. LESS THAN SIGN :)
step 3. six times the number decreased by 8
......................
oh and if you're looking to simplify that problem I believe it would be worked out like this....5n-10<6n-8....subtract 5 from both sides....-10
