Solve the inequality.

Question

–8m < –24

m < –16

m < 3

m > 3

m > –16

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \(-8m < -24\), follow these steps:

1. Divide both sides by -8. Remember, when you divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign.

\[ m > \frac{-24}{-8} \]

2. Simplifying \(\frac{-24}{-8}\):

\[ m > 3 \]

Thus, the solution to the inequality \(-8m < -24\) is:

\[ m > 3 \]

So, the correct answer is:

m > 3
