Not sure what you are asking!

n<1.6

Explanation:

Assumption:

The question is asking for the value of n to be determined given that:

8n10<62n

Treat this as if it were: 8n10=62n

In inequalities you have to turn the inequality sign round the other way
if you multiply by -1. It is NOT THE CASE in this question.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Add 2n to both sides

8n+2n10<62n+2n

But 2n+2n=0 giving:

10n10<6

Add 10 to both sides

10n+1010<6+10

10n<16

Divide both sides by 10

1010n<1610

But 1010=1

n<1.6
