Answer: top right corner

Reason

The top left corner solves to
m \le 4.5 after subtracting 3.5 from both sides. Unfortunately m = 19 does not work here because
19 \le 4.5 is false.

The top right corner has these steps when solving for m.


-m + 3.5 \le 8\\\\-m \le 8-3.5\\\\-m \le 4.5\\\\m \ge -4.5\\\\

The inequality sign flips when multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number.

m = 19 fits in that last inequality since
19 \ge -4.5 is a true statement.

Therefore, m = 19 is a solution to
-m + 3.5 \le 8
