The above tells us that all values of m that are greater than or equal to 1.6 will satisfy the inequality.
Checking Our Answer
Let's Check Our Answer!
We can check our solution by substituting a few values into the given inequality. The value satisfies the inequality if the inequality remains true after substituting and simplifying.
m
3 ≤ m + 1.4
Simplify
True or False?
1.5
3 ≤ 1.5 + 1.4
3 ≰ 2.9
False
1.6
3 ≤ 1.6 + 1.4
3 ≤ 3
True
1.7
3 ≤ 1.7 + 1.4
3 ≤ 3.1
True
We can conclude that as long as m is greater than or equal to 1.6, the inequality is satisfied.
