3m-3%28m%2B8%29%3E3m Start with the given inequality.


3m-3m-24%3E3m Distribute.


0m-24%3E3m Combine like terms on the left side.


0m%3E3m%2B24 Add 24 to both sides.


0m-3m%3E24 Subtract 3m from both sides.


-3m%3E24 Combine like terms on the left side.


m%3C%2824%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate m. note: Remember, the inequality sign flips when we divide both sides by a negative number.


m%3C-8 Reduce.
