Answer

$20\lt m$ or $8\gt m$ The graph is shown below.

Work Step by Step

The given inequality is $\Rightarrow 3|14-m|\gt18$ Divide each side by $3$. $\Rightarrow \frac{3|14-m|}{3}\gt\frac{18}{3}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow |14-m|\gt6$ Write a compound inequality. $\Rightarrow 14-m\lt -6$ or $14-m\gt 6$ Add $m+6$ to each side of the first inequality and $m-6$ to each side of the second inequality. $\Rightarrow 14-m+m+6\lt -6+m+6$ or $14-m+m-6\gt 6+m-6$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 20\lt m$ or $8\gt m$ Hence, the solution is $20\lt m$ or $8\gt m$.
