The next time the stations will play the song at the same time would be at 4:12 P.M. because 18×4=72 and 24×3=72 and this is the first number that they share.
3(m - 2) - 4>= 7m + 4
Use distributive property
3m - 6 - 4>= 7m + 4
Subtract 7m from both sides
-4m - 6 - 4>= 4
Add 6 to both sides
-4m - 4>= 10
Add 4 to both sides
-4m>= 14
Divide both sides by -4 so that the only thing remaining on the left side is the variable m.
Final Answer: m<= -14/4 or 3.5 or 3 1/2 *All the answers are equivalent to each other.
