Given the inequality:
3m - 4n + 6p > 5n + 2p - 8
Solve for m.
Solution:
In order to solve for m, we simply needed to transpose -4n and 6p to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
3m - 4n + 6p > 5n + 2p - 8
3m > 5n + 2p - 8 + 4n - 6p
3m > 9n - 4p - 8
Divide both sides by 3 in order to determine the value of m.
3m/3 > (9n - 4p - 8)/3
m > 3n - 4/3p - 8
Final answer:
m > 3n - 4/3p - 8
