To solve the inequality \(4m - 2 \leq 14\), you can follow these steps:
Step 1
Add 2 to both sides of the inequality: \[ 4m - 2 + 2 \leq 14 + 2 \] This simplifies to: \[ 4m \leq 16 \]
Step 2
Now, divide both sides by 4: \[ \frac{4m}{4} \leq \frac{16}{4} \] This simplifies to: \[ m \leq 4 \]
Graph
On a number line, you would illustrate this by shading all values to the left of 4, including 4 itself (indicating \(m\) can equal 4).
Question 2 Response
The solution to the inequality is: m ≤ 4 (or m is less than or equal to 4).
Final Answers
- Step 1: Add 2 to both sides.
- Step 2: Divide both sides by 4.
- Graph: (Refer to a number line shading leftwards from 4).
- Response: \(m \leq 4\) or \(m \text{ is less than or equal to } 4\).
