Question

5[5m-(m+4)]>-8(m-2)

supposed to write as an inequality

Answer 1

5[5m-(m+4)]>-8(m-2)

5(4m-4)>8m-16

20m-20>8m-16

12m>-36

m>-3

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

5[5m - (m + 4)] > -8(m - 2)

5[5m - m - 4)] > -8(m - 2)

5[4m - 4)] > -8(m - 2)

20m - 20 > -8m + 16

20m + 8m > 16 + 20

28m > 36

m > 36/28

m > 9/7

although "just wondering" had the correct procedure, she changed the -8 to +8 in the second step. That is why her answer is different than mine.

The > sign indicates greater than, not equal to. Therefore, it is an inequality.

Answer 3

5[5m-(m+4)]>-8(m-2)

5[5m-m-4]>-8(m-2)

5[5m-m-4]>-8m+16

25m-5m-20>-8m+16

20m-20>-8m+16

28m>36

m>9/7

Answer 4

because of this symbol ">" it can be written as an inequality. first, u have to figure out each side. because this ">" is not an equal sign, u have to deal with each side individually, u cannot transfer or trade or anything with the other side. 5[5m-m+4)] is our first side. start in the inside parentheses and then, as u cannot add m to 4, without assigning m a number, move outward. take away the inwardest parentheses and then figure it out. eventually, u will multiply by the five (the one on the outside). after that, u can apply the -8 to the (m-2). good luck!
