solving inequalities by adding or subtracting
multiple choice
solve each inequality
1. m - 7 < 6 (1 point)
A. m < -12
Oh, come on! You probably thought I was going to say "m < -12," didn't you? Well, surprise surprise! The correct answer is actually B. m < 13! To solve this inequality, you need to get m all by itself. So, add 7 to both sides of the inequality to get m - 7 + 7 < 6 + 7, which simplifies to m < 13. Keep those mathematical wheels turning!
To solve the inequality m - 7 < 6 using the strategy of adding or subtracting, we need to isolate the variable "m" on one side of the inequality sign.
1. Begin by adding 7 to both sides of the inequality:
m - 7 + 7 < 6 + 7
Simplifying this:
m < 13
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. m < 13
To solve the inequality m - 7 < 6 by adding or subtracting, we need to isolate the variable m.
Step 1: Add 7 to both sides of the inequality:
m - 7 + 7 < 6 + 7
Simplifying both sides, we have:
m < 13
So the correct answer is:
A. m < 13
