jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

can you show your steps on how you got your answer?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hmm I'm getting m > -4 as well so there could be a typo somewhere

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

maybe they want the answer in interval notation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer choice are m > -44/7 m < 44/7 m < 4 m > 4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and the problem is definitely -7(m - 2) < 42 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m>-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea the problem is definitely -7(m - 2) < 42

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then unfortunately there's a typo that you'll have to bring up with the teacher
