To solve the first part, we start by isolating (m):
-
Multiply all terms by 4 to eliminate the fraction:
22×4<m+7
88<m+7
-
Subtract 7 from both sides:
88−7<m
81<m
This simplifies to:
m>81
\frac{m + 7}{4} < 32

Next, we solve the second part:
-
Again, multiply all terms by 4:
m+7<32×4
m+7<128
-
Subtract 7 from both sides:
m<128−7
m<121

Now we combine the results from both inequalities:
81<m<121
Thus, the final solution is:
m∈(81,121)
