Question

multiple-choice question what is the first and second step to solve this inequality? add, multiply add, divide subtract, divide subtract, multiply rewatch submit two-step inequalities -use inverse operations to isolate the variable -flip inequality symbol when multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative 4) 3 > (m/q) - 8

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate variable term first

To isolate $\frac{m}{9}$, we use the inverse of subtraction (addition) on both sides:
$3 + 8 > \frac{m}{9} - 8 + 8$
$11 > \frac{m}{9}$

Step2: Isolate the variable

To isolate $m$, we use the inverse of division (multiplication) on both sides:
$11 \times 9 > \frac{m}{9} \times 9$
$99 > m$

Answer:

subtract, multiply (Note: The first step is the inverse of subtraction, which is addition, but framed as undoing the subtraction of 8; the second step is multiplying to undo division. The correct option matches the operation pair to undo the given inequality structure.)
