m/4+6<10
I will assume that the m is only over the 4
try it by changing the < to equal= how would you handle it?
m/4+6=10
subtract 6
m/4=4
multiply by 4
m=16
now put the < back in
m<16
let's do it again with the <
m/4+6<10
subtract 6
m/4<4
multiply by 4
m<16
Watch out for multiplication and division by a negative number
