Answer:

(a)
6m \le - 36 and
m + 24 > 20

Explanation:

Required

Which of a to d has no solution

(a)
6m \le - 36 and
m + 24 > 20

We have:
m + 24 > 20

Sole for m


m >20 - 24


m >-4


6m \le - 36

Divide by 6


m \le -6

So, we have:


m \le -6 and
m >-4


m \le -6 implies that: m = -6,-7,-8,-9.....


m >-4 implies that m = -3,-2,-1,0.....

Hence, there is no solution
