Question

2(m-3)+7<21 PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer 1

Simplify. Distribute 2 to all terms within the parenthesis

2(m -3) = 2m - 6

Simplify. Combine like terms

2m - 6 + 7 < 21

2m + 1 < 21

Isolate the m. Subtract 1 from both sides

2m + 1 (-1) < 21 (-1)

2m < 20

Isolate the m. Divide 2 from both sides

2m/2 < 20/2

m < 20/2

m < 10

m < 10 is your answer

hope this helps
