-5n + 6 > -35n + 42 - 6n    *distribute -7 to 5n and -6

-5n + 6 > (-35n - 6n) + 42    *combine like terms: -35n and -6n

-5n + 6 > -41n + 42   *add 41n to both sides

36n + 6 > 42    *subtract 6 from both sides

36n > 36    *divide both sides by 36 b/c n is being multiplied by 36

n > 1   *open circle at 1 on number line with shading to the right
