Given the numerical inequality:
18d – 2m + 9k < 5k + 10
Solve for m.
Solution:
In order to solve for m, we simply need to transpose -2m and 5k + 10 to their opposite sides of the equation. Hence, we must take note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
18d – 2m + 9k < 5k + 10
18d + 9k -5k - 10 < 2m
18d + 4k - 10 < 2m
Divide both sides by 2 in order to determine the value of m.
(18d + 4k - 10)/2 < 2m/2
9d + 2k - 5 < m
Final answer:
9d + 2k - 5 < m
