Question 1012659: a checking account is set up with an initial balance of $9,400, and $800 is removed from the account at the end of each month for rent. Write an inequality whose solutions are the months, m, in which the account balance is greater than $3,000. Write the solution set to your equation by identifying all of the solutions.

We would write
9400 - 800m > 3000
Subtract 9400 and get
-800m > -6400
Divide by -800 and reverse the sign...we get
m < 8
This means that one could pay the rent for 7 months. On the 8th month, the balance becomes $3000 (which is not more than $3000)...
