amistre64 · Answer

and we are to do?

amistre64 · Answer

i assume its solve for m ...

amistre64 · Answer

first thing is to multiply thru the paranthesis ...

then gather up like terms; and divide out the number that is stuck to "m"

anonymous · Answer

yeah the question just says solve? so m it is!

amistre64 · Answer

id rather work thru it with you; since I already know how to do it ... :)

how far do you get?  and where are you stuck at?

anonymous · Answer

yeah the whole this is confusing...
idk what to do or how to start

anonymous · Answer

thing*

amistre64 · Answer

-2(3-m)+15 = 6m-4(m-20)

lets start by multiply thru the paranthesis:

-2(3-m) = ?

-4(m-20) = ?

amistre64 · Answer

if anything; stack them up and multiply

 3 -m
 x  -2

anonymous · Answer

-6+m?

anonymous · Answer

-4m+80

anonymous · Answer

?

amistre64 · Answer

very close :)

   3 -m
   x  -2
-------
-6 +2m


   m -20
     x  -4
--------
-4m +80

amistre64 · Answer

ill assume you typoed it :)

anonymous · Answer

you gave me a medal aww thanks and no typo

anonymous · Answer

oh i forgot the 2m part

bahrom7893 · Answer

why do I not see the good answer button?

amistre64 · Answer

-6 +2m +15 = 6m -4m +80  ; now we gotta collect all the like terms.  transfer everything with an m to one side and all the other stuff to the other side of the = sign

amistre64 · Answer

you gotta hit f5 to refresh your browser when that happens

bahrom7893 · Answer

Okay yea.. it's fine now after i reloaded..

bahrom7893 · Answer

medals for everyone xD!

anonymous · Answer

yes!! medals!!

amistre64 · Answer

why 15?  its part of the problem you posted

anonymous · Answer

oh idk? i forget!

amistre64 · Answer

all we did was work out the paranthetical parts :)

anonymous · Answer

oh ok now whatget the m's together?

amistre64 · Answer

-6 +2m +15 = 6m -4m +80 ; lets put the ms to the left and everything esle to the right ...

-6 +2m +15 = 6m -4m +80
+6                                  +6
--------------------------
  0    2m+15 = 6m-4m +86

 2m+15 = 6m-4m + 86
       -15                  -15
----------------------
2m     0  =  6m-4m +71

 
  2m  =  6m-4m +71
-6m     -6m
-------------------
-4m =    0  -4m +71


-4m = -4m +71
+4m   +4m
-------------
   0   = 0 +71


0 = 71 ... this is a false statement and tells us that there is NO solution for m if I did it right

anonymous · Answer

mmm no solution eh?

amistre64 · Answer

no solution it would seem; is that an option choice for you?

anonymous · Answer

sounds great to me

amistre64 · Answer

then that good for me :)
