Question

How do you solve `1/4m<=-17`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Multiply each side of the inequality by `color(red)(4)` to solve for `m` while keeping the inequality balanced:

`color(red)(4) xx 1/4m <= color(red)(4) xx -17`

`cancel(color(red)(4)) xx 1/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(4)))m <= -68`

`1m <= -68`

`m <= -68`
