#3n-(4n+2)>8=n<-10#

#3n-(4n+2)>8#

Remove the brackets first:

#3n-4n-2>8#

Move the n's to one side of the equation and the numbers to the other (change them from positive to negative or vice-versa when you do so):

#3n-4n>8+2#

#-n>10#

Don't forget to change the sign when you multiply by a negative number:

#n<-10#
