Question 734879: Which number would not be a possible solution to
-10m - 8 ≧ 12m - 10?

There are trillions and trillions of numbers that 
could not be a possible solution to:

-10m - 8 ≧ 12m - 10

You did not tell us what the choices were, so we can't 
answer.  But maybe we can help you out anyway.

Let's solve it:

-10m - 8 ≧ 12m - 10
      +8         +8
-------------------
-10m     ≧ 12m - 2
-12m      -12m
-------------------
-22m     ≧      -2


    -22m ≧ -2

Divide both sides by -22, and we reverse the inequality
because we are dividing by a negative number

      m ≦ 

      m ≦ 

All the solutions are therefore  or less.
So if they gave you a choice that is greater than ,
and that would be a number that would not be a solution to
-10m - 8 ≧ 12m - 10
