3(m) - 3(m) + 8 - 3(m) > ?
Repeat this step⬆
3(m) - 3(m) + 8 - 3(m) > 0
-3(m) - 24
First, let's divide ( ÷ ) by the number -3 from each of your sides
Oh and don't forget to flip the inequality sign around
Second, let's subtract ( - ) the number 8 from each of your sides
Finally, we get to your result: -3.0 (-24.0) < ?

Your answer would have to be : m < -8
