Pls show how you got it cause it’s confusing me a lot

Answer 1

m<4 = 14 --> final answer

Answer 2

m<4 = 14

Explanation:

m<4 = m<8

6x - 16 = 2x + 4

+16 +16

-----------------------

6x = 2x + 20

-2x -2x

-----------------------

4x = 20

/4 /4

-----------------------

x = 5

m<4 = 6x - 16

= 6(5) - 16

= 30 - 16

= 14

Thus, m<4 = 14
