Question

Solve for m.
8m+95<−87m+5

Answer 1

m < -
`(18)/(19)`

Explanation:

8m + 95 < -87m + 5

8m + 87m < 5 - 95

95m < -90

m < -
`(90)/(95)`

Simplifying gives;

m < -
`(18)/(19)`

Answer 2

`m<(18)/(19)`

Explanation:

`8m+95<-87m+5`

we need to solve the inequality for m

To solve the inequality for m , move like terms to one side

`8m+95<-87m+5`, add 87 on both sides

`95m+95<5`

Subtract 95 from both sides

`95m<90`

Now divide both sides by 95

`m<(90)/(95)`

`m<(18)/(19)`
