How to solve inequality with variable on both sides.

Question

With n+7≤3n−1 as an example (the question I am trying to solve) I ask that someone provide a step by step example of how to solve this, I've made multiple attempts and It always ends up botched. I think there is a step I don't know to use when there is a variable on both sides, so that would be very appreciated.

Answer 1

Start by subtracting n and adding 1 to both sides.
