-4+7(1-3m)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use PEMDAS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First you would distribute the 7 to the (1-3m)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you would simplify by combining your like terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4+7(1-3m)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But that would give you the wrong answer because you have to use PEMDAS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Order of operations Parentheses Exponents Multiplication Division Addition Subtraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But you cant do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Using PEMDAS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1379344545255:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No they never gave you what m is equal to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (petiteme):

-4+7(1-3m) distribute 7 -4+7-21m Then add like terms 3-21m isolate -21 to get m 3=21m divide both sides by 21 to get the value of m m=3/21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't like to read all of that! @E.ali just say what did you find?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh @E.ali , sorry,sorry but you're wrong :) first we should do 7(1-3m)
