Question

Which choice describes the value of m when –5(m + 1) ≤ 23?

Answer 1

Answer:

m$\leq$-5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

-5m-5$\leq$23

-5m$\leq$28

m$\leq$-5.6

Answer 2

Answer:

m ≥- 28 / 5

Step-by-step explanation:

–5(m + 1) ≤ 23

Distribute

-5m -5 ≤ 23

Add 5 to each side

-5m -5+5 ≤ 23+5

-5m  ≤ 28

Divide each side by -5, remembering to flip the inequality

-5m/-5 ≥ 28 / -5

m ≥- 28 / 5
