that would be -2=/ 0.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait what
OpenStudy (anonymous):
please clarify sorry i'm dense
OpenStudy (mandre):
What is the question?
OpenStudy (mandre):
You cannot find teh value of m because if you simplify you get
-2 = 0
Which is incorrect obviously.

-2=m(2-2)
-2=m(0)=0
-2=0?!!!!
It's Incorrect
OpenStudy (anonymous):
one way i did it was i combined like terms, so i just put the two 2m's together and got 4m and subtracted four from both sides of the equation and got 1=m but i'm not sre if i did it right?
OpenStudy (mandre):
2m-2m is not equal to 4m....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh so it is incorrect okay
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do any of you know the answer to this different maths problem though because that would be fantastic 2x+2x=12?

What do you think?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what what do i think about if you guys know the answer or what do i think about the problem
OpenStudy (mandre):
Did you try to do it at least. It's a simple problem for me but you have to learn to do it so that you can handle similar problems
OpenStudy (mandre):
Can you simplify 2x+2x?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no

What is 2+2?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2x+2x=12
x(2+2)=12
4x=12
x=12/4=3
x=3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
..4..
OpenStudy (mandre):
So what is 2x+2x?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4x?

Yup. So now you have
4x = 12.
And you want x on it's own to get the value of x. You know what to do now?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
divide by four?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
on both sides?
OpenStudy (mandre):
There you go :)
OpenStudy (uri):
-2=2m-2m
+2m and -2m will be cancelled
So,
-2=0
Therfore no solution.
