Answer:

m>8

Explanation:

The first step will be to distribute the 2, so that the equation becomes 2m + 6 + 1 > 23.

From here we should combine like terms, which just means adding 6 and 1, so that the equation is now 2m+7>23. Now, we just subtract 7 on both sides, which brings leave us with 2m > 16.

Lastly dividing by 2 on both sides, the answer is m>8
