You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Starting with
8m + 6 < 12m - 2
...
Isolate M
8m - 12m < -2 - 6
-4m < -8
...
Divide both sides by -4 (note the sign change for dividing by a negative)
highlight_green%28m+%3E+2%29
...
Put an open circle on 2 and the line goes rightward (increasing) with an arrow
OR
Put a ( on 2 and the line goes rightward (increasing) with an arrow
**The open circle or ( indicate that 2 is NOT included in the solution**
