Math Problem Statement

Solve for m. – 1(m–6)+16≥7

Solution

Let's solve the inequality:

1(m6)+1671(m - 6) + 16 \geq 7

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Distribute the 1: Since multiplying by 1 doesn't change the expression, we can simply rewrite it: m6+167m - 6 + 16 \geq 7

  2. Combine like terms: Simplify the constants 6+16-6 + 16: m+107m + 10 \geq 7

  3. Isolate mm: Subtract 10 from both sides to isolate mm: m710m \geq 7 - 10 m3m \geq -3

Final solution:

m3m \geq -3

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this topic:

  1. How would the solution change if the inequality was strict (i.e., m6+16>7m - 6 + 16 > 7)?
  2. Can you solve a similar inequality like 2(m+3)592(m + 3) - 5 \leq 9?
  3. How would you solve if you had a negative multiplier, such as 2(m4)6-2(m - 4) \geq 6?
  4. How do inequalities behave when dividing or multiplying by negative numbers?
  5. What happens if you have a compound inequality like 3m+1103 \leq m + 1 \leq 10?

Tip: Always remember to reverse the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number!
