The way you think to get the solution is perfectly right,but you should have got the answer "24" if you had taken "m=0" into account. 21m+8<500--> m<23.42.So m should be some value from 0 to 23,inclusive. There are 24 possible values as the original issue says.
#79: B should be the best answer: The flaw in premise(1) is so obvious that we can just assign 2 real numbers,-0.5 and -0.4,with one breaking and the other defending the result:[2x]=0 Let's move on to the second: It tells us that -1<3x<=0 -->-2/3<2x<=0 So no matter x equals to zero or not,the mere result is [2x]=0 That's why B,I think.
