2(m - 8) = 4(m + 6) ?

m = ?????

Answer 1

:) i have more after your done with this one :)

Answer 2

2(m - 8) = 4(m + 6)
The first thing we need to do is distribute.
Starting with the first part.
2(m - 8) We need to multiply 2 by everything in the parenthesis.
2 * m = 2m
2 * -8 = -16
The last part:
4(m + 6)
4 * m = 4m
4 * 6 = 24
Putting this together:
2m - 16 = 4m + 24
We want to isolate m on one side, so I'm going to subtract 2m from both sides.
-16 = 2m + 24
Subtract 24 from both sides.
-40 = 2m
Divide each side by 2.
m = -20 <--- Answer. We can plug this in to see if it's correct. (:
2(m - 8) = 4(m + 6)
2 (-20 - 8) = 4(-20 + 6)
2 ( -28) = 4(-14)
-56 = -56 True.
