Solve the inequalities: 3(m-5) - 6 -36 what do i do?

3(m - 5) - 6 > -36

First, add 6 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 
Second, simplify -36 + 6 to get -30. / Your problem should look like: 
Third, divide both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like: 
Fourth, since 10 × 3 is 30, simplify the fraction by 10. / Your problem should look like: 
Fifth, add 5 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 
Sixth, simplify -10 + 5 to get -5. / Your problem should look like: 

 m > -5

3(m−5)−6>−36

3m−21>−36

Step 2: Add 21 to both sides.

3m−21+21>−36+21

3m>−15

Divide both sides by 3.

3m/3>−15/3

m>−5

The total amount of different books is 16.

Take away 1 from each, representing the same book they all read.

7 - 1 = 6 , 6 - 1 = 5 , 5 - 1 = 4

Add the three together.

6 + 5 + 4 = 15

Add that one book everyone read.

15 + 1 = 16 different books.

Hope I helped you out.
