Solve the inequality.

Question

–12m < –24

m > –12

m < –12

m > 2

m < 2

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \(-12m < -24\), we proceed as follows:

1. Divide both sides by -12. Remember that when you divide or multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign.

\[ \frac{-12m}{-12} > \frac{-24}{-12} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ m > 2 \]

Thus, the solution to the inequality is:

m > 2.
