If 2m+%3E+24 and 3m+%3C+48, which of the following could NOT be a
possible value of m?

2m+%3E+24.....both sides divide by 2
2m%2F2+%3E+24%2F2

m+%3E+12...or 12+%3C+m

3m+%3C+48....both sides divide by 3

3m%2F3+%3C+48%2F3

m+%3C+16

so, 12+%3C+m+%3C+16

now,

13 could be be a possible value of m because 12%3C13%3C16

14 could be be a possible value of m because 12%3C14%3C16

15 could be be a possible value of m because 12%3C15%3C16

16 could NOT be be a possible value of m because

12%3C16_is_NOT%3C16
