How to solve -mk -120>95 for m

Answer 1

Isolate the m. First add 120 to both sides.

-m(k) - 120 (+120) > 95 (+120)

-m(k) > 215

Next, divide k from both sides

-m(k)/k > (215)/k

-m > 215/k

Finally, to completely isolate the m, divide by - 1 to both sides. Remember that when you divide by a negative number, you flip the sign.

-m/-1 > (215/k)/-1

m < (215/k)/-1 should be your answer

hope this helps
