mrnood · Answer

the inequality in this case can be treated in a similar way to an equality.

Divide both sides of the inequation by 5

You will then have an inequality m> ??

There are however TWO of your answer options which are true. Are you sure you have written the question correctly?

mrnood · Answer

I dont understand

mrnood · Answer

5m>4.6

you have divided the right hand side - also need to divide the left to keep it true.

(e.g.  7x>49      divide by 7 both sides : x>7)
