2m*7>17

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Is the inequality "2m multiplied by 7 is greater than 17"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its plus 7 is greater than 17 sorry

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

2m + 7 > 17 Then you need m by itself on the left side. What is happening to m is that it's being multiplied by 2 and then 7 is being added to that. The opposite operation to multiplication is division. The opposite operation to addition is subtraction.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Start by undoing the addition, by subtracting 7 from both sides.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Then undo the multiplication by dividing both sides by 2.
