Question

1. What is the solution to the compound inequality 85 < 17m <136?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is b.

Step-by-step explanation:

First separate it into two inequalities.

85<17m and 17m<136

For the first one,

Divide both sides by 17.

5<m

For the second one,

Divide both sides by 17.

m<8.

Therefore, 5<m and m<8. It is and not or because the compound inequality lists them together, not with an or separating it.

Hope this helped.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to seperate the inequalities into 2 :

$85 < 17m$

$17m < 136$

Then you have to solve it :

$85 < 17m$

$85 \div 17 < m$

$5 < m$

$m > 5$

$17m < 136$

$m < 136 \div 17$

$m < 8$
