Question

2m-29-8m=-35-28m-10, anybody plz?

Answer 1

solve for m?

Answer 2

first combine the like terms on each side of the equation

Answer 3

then move constant terms to one side and your variable terms to the other side.

Answer 4

so 2m - 8m - 10m?

Answer 5

well.. actually you would combine 2m - 8m on the one side.. and -35 - 10 on the other side.

Answer 6

so it would look like -29 - 6m = -45 -28m

Answer 7

with me?

Answer 8

your rit my bad

Answer 9

np, not your bad :) is why we are all here, for help. so you should get m = to a fraction of some sort. lemme know what u get or if you got it from here.

Answer 10

wouldnt 2m - 8m = -6?

Answer 11

no, you cannot get rid of the m term by subtracting. if m was 5 then would 2(5) - 8(5) = 6? no that would be like negative 30.

Answer 12

wait i think i see how it is, so if you get, for xample, -6 and 5 was in front of it u wud put down 5-6 and not 5 - (-6)? rit?

Answer 13

are yhu buyin what im sellin?

Answer 14

-6 +5 = 5-6 correct.. they both equal negative 1

Answer 15

so for this question -29 - 6m = -45 - 28m now, add 28m to both sides.. u get -29 + 22m = -45. now add 29 to both sides.. you get 22m = -16 right?

Answer 16

you have now have m on one side and the constant on the other. now isolate m by using division.

Answer 17

so its 22m/22 = -16/22 ?

Answer 18

yep, then reduce to m = -8/11

Answer 19

make sense?

Answer 20

wait how did yhu get -8/11?

Answer 21

hellooo...?

Answer 22

cause 22m / 22 = -16/22 right?

Answer 23

so \[m=\frac{ -16 }{ 22 }\] and if you reduce.. divide by 2 to numerator and denominator.. you get \[\frac{ -8 }{ 11 }\]

Answer 24

yes dats true thanks

Answer 25

great, hope it helped. let me know if you get stuck on another :)

Answer 26

but i dont need it simplifyed i need help to get to the answer to m what does -16/22 cuz i get a wierd answer.

Answer 27

helloooooo..

Answer 28

wait.. what? you need -16/22 in decimal form?

Answer 29

\[-\frac{ 16 }{ 22 }=-16\div22=-.72 repeating\]
