16+m (over/fraction sign) 2<9

The over or fraction sign simply means the short horizontal line you see for fraction. I didn't know how to add it, lol.

Sixteen plus m (over) two is less than nine.

Solve it, XD.

(16+m)/2 <9 gives 16 + m < 18 after multiplying both sides by 2.
Now take away 16 to get m<2

Sixteen plus m (over) two is less than nine = (16+m)/2 < 9,

Multiply by 2,
16+m < 18

Subtract 16 both-sides,
m < 9 - 16,

m < -7 >===================< ANSWER
