SOLUTION: solve the inequality .5 + m + 8 > 14 and the > has a line under it. Please help, im so confused

 

Hi,

.5 + m + 8 ≥ 14 

    m ≥ 14 - 8 - .5

    m ≥ 5.5

Note: solving inequalites is the same as solving regular equations:

With the EXCEPTION of when one must multiply or divide both sides by a negative number in order to solve

THEN, that operation changes the directionof the inequality sign.
