Answer: 5m - (-8) = (-4) + 2m= m=−4 solvi

3x + 8 < 2x - 15​= x<−23

Step-by-step explanation: 5m - (-8) = (-4) + 2m= m=−4

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

5*m-(-8)-((-4)+2*m)=0

Pull out like factors :

3m + 12 = 3 • (m + 4)

Solve : m+4 = 0

Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation :

m = -4

3x + 8 < 2x - 15​

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the greater than sign from both sides of the inequality :

3*x+8-(2*x-15)<0

Subtract 23 from both sides

x < -23

x < -23
