-10+%3C+30+-+8m+%3C=+6 Start with the given compound inequality.


-10-30%3C-8m%3C=6-30 Subtract 30 from all sides.


-40%3C-8m%3C=6-30 Combine like terms on the left side.


-40%3C-8m%3C=-24 Combine like terms on the right side.


%28-40%29%2F%28-8%29%3Em%3E=%28-24%29%2F%28-8%29 Divide all sides by -8. This flips the inequality signs


5%3Em%3E=3 Divide.


3%3C=m%3C5 Rearrange the inequality.



-----------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is 3%3Cm%3C=5



So the answer in interval notation is [)


Also, the answer in set-builder notation is


Here's the graph of the solution set

Graph of the solution set

Note:
There is a closed circle at m=3 which means that we're including this value in the solution set
Also, there is an open circle at m=5 which means that we're excluding this value from the solution set.
