Question

answer this:
5m – 2 ≤ – 7

Answer 1

Answer:

If 5m – 2 ≤ – 7 then $m\geq -1$

Step-by-step explanation:

5m – 2 ≤ – 7

5m – 2 +2 ≤ – 7 + 2

5m ≤ - 5

Divide both side by 5

\frac{5m}{5} ≤ \frac{-5}{5}

m ≤ -1

To state the solution in terms of m  we can reverse or "flip" the entire inequality:

m  $\geq -1$
