In order to solve this inequation we need to follow this route:

50-8m ≥ 0

Lets put the variables on one side and the numbers on the other side. Every variable or number that will change sides, will have their sign changed from a + into a - and vice versa.

50 ≥ 8m

Divide both sides with 8.

50/8 ≥ 8m/8

5 > m
