Question

Solve the inequality: m/2 - 1 > 7 *

Answer 1

m/2 - 1 > 7

m/2 > 7 + 1

m/2 > 8

m/2 • 2 > 8 • 2

m > 16

Answer 2

m > 16

Explanation:

m/2 - 1 > 7

Take the - 1 to the other side so that it becomes positive and adds onto 7 to become 8

m/2 > 7 +1

m > 8 x 2

Multiply both sides by 2 so you would get 8 x 2 to receive 16

m > 16
