Question

5m+6m-2m=68
step by step plzz

Answer 1

5m+6m-2m=68
Combine like terms
9m=68
divide 9 on both sides
m=68/9 \[\approx\] 7.6

Answer 2

5m+6m-2m = 68 combine like terms on the left (5+6-2 = 9)
9m=68 divide by 9
m=68/9 or about 7.5555

Answer 3

combining like terms means combining those terms that have the same variables (i.e. the same letters) in this case, 5m, 6m, and -2m have the same letter, m. Therefore, you can combine them like regular numbers. 5m+6m=11m and 11m-2m is 9m. Dividing both sides by 9 to get m alone becomes 68/9. Hope that helps :)
