To solve the inequality \(5n - 3 < 3(n + 1)\), follow these steps:
-
Distribute the \(3\) on the right side: \[ 5n - 3 < 3n + 3 \]
-
Subtract \(3n\) from both sides: \[ 5n - 3n - 3 < 3 \] \[ 2n - 3 < 3 \]
-
Add \(3\) to both sides: \[ 2n < 3 + 3 \] \[ 2n < 6 \]
-
Divide both sides by \(2\): \[ n < 3 \]
Thus, the solution to the inequality is: \[ n < 3 \]
