Q. Solve for

m

\newline

2(m - 4) < 12

Distribute $2$ : Distribute $2$ across the terms inside the parentheses. $\newline$ 2(m - 4) < 12 $\newline$ 2m - 8 < 12
Add $8$ : Add $8$ to both sides of the inequality to isolate the term with the variable $m$ . $\newline$ 2m - 8 + 8 < 12 + 8 $\newline$ 2m < 20
Divide by $2$ : Divide both sides of the inequality by $2$ to solve for $m$ .\frac{2m}{2} < \frac{20}{2} m < 10
