Solve for m:
2%3C-6%28m+%2B+1%29%3C+10
2%3C-6m-6%3C10
2%2B6%3C-6m-6%2B6%3C10%2B6
8%3C-6m%3C16
8%2F-6%3E-6m%2F-6%3E16%2F-6 Flip all the inequalities when you multiply or divide by a negative number.
-4%2F3%3Em%3E-8%2F3 We like having the smaller number first, so reverse this, yet keep the inequalities opening towards the same numbers:
-8%2F3%3Cm%3C-4%2F3
Happy Calculating!!!
