Question

does anyone know how to do this problem: 3(m + 1.5) = 1.5(2m + 3)

Answer 1

First distribute each side ... this will get rid of the ( ), then solve for m

Answer 2

left side: 3(m+1.5) so multiply 3*m and 3*1.5

Answer 3

okayy..

Answer 4

do the same process on the right side, 1.5*2m and 1.5*3

Answer 5

what did you get?

Answer 6

3m+4.5=3m+4.5.
m=m
This equation works for all real numbers.
