Question

What value of m is not a solution for the following inequality 3m ≤ 36​

a.m=4
b.m=9
c.m=12
d.m=15

Answer 1

D. m = 15

Explanation:

`3m\leq36\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\(3m)/(3)\leq(36)/(3)\\\\m\leq12\\\\a.\ m=4\leq12\to\boxed{SOLUTION}\\\\b.\ m=9\leq12\to\boxed{SOLUTION}\\\\c.\ m=12\leq12\to\boxed{SOLUTION}\\\\d.\ m=15>12\to\boxed{NOT\ A\ SOLUTION}`
