Answer: [tex]\frac{-10}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation: We will begin by rewriting the problem:

[tex]9n \ - \ 6 \ < 2n \ - \ 16[/tex]

Next, we subtract 2n from both sides:

[tex]7n \ - \ 6 \ < \ -16[/tex]

Then, we add 6 to both sides:

[tex]7n \ = \ -10[/tex]

Finally, we divide by the coefficient (7):

[tex]n \ = \ \frac{-10}{7}[/tex]

Therefore, n = -10/7.
