21-8m%3E6m%2B49 Start with the given inequality.


-8m%3E6m%2B49-21 Subtract 21 from both sides.


-8m-6m%3E49-21 Subtract 6m from both sides.


-14m%3E49-21 Combine like terms on the left side.


-14m%3E28 Combine like terms on the right side.


m%3C%2828%29%2F%28-14%29 Divide both sides by -14 to isolate m. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


m%3C-2 Reduce.
