OpenStudy (shaik0124):

2m-16=4m+24

OpenStudy (shaik0124):

now make the related terms on one side

OpenStudy (shaik0124):

-24-16=4m-2m

OpenStudy (shaik0124):

can u slve now

OpenStudy (alurahenderson):

I don't understand

OpenStudy (shaik0124):

did u understand how this equation came 2m-16=4m+24

OpenStudy (alurahenderson):

You switched them

OpenStudy (shaik0124):

just multiplied

OpenStudy (shaik0124):

2(m-8)=4(m+6) after multiplying we get 2m-16=4m+24

OpenStudy (shaik0124):

understood?

OpenStudy (shaik0124):

say something?

OpenStudy (alurahenderson):

I get that

OpenStudy (alurahenderson):

Just not the rest

OpenStudy (shaik0124):

now subtract 24 on both sides

OpenStudy (shaik0124):

2m-16=4m+24 2m-16-24=4m+24-24

OpenStudy (shaik0124):

got?

OpenStudy (alurahenderson):

0

OpenStudy (shaik0124):

after subtracting 24 u will get 2m-16-24=4m right?

OpenStudy (alurahenderson):

yes

OpenStudy (shaik0124):

now subtract 2m on both sides

OpenStudy (shaik0124):

what did u get after subtracting 2m

OpenStudy (alurahenderson):

16-24=2m:?

OpenStudy (shaik0124):

-16-24=2m

OpenStudy (shaik0124):

now get the value of m

OpenStudy (alurahenderson):

-40 = 2m?

OpenStudy (shaik0124):

yes

OpenStudy (alurahenderson):

2m is the answer?

OpenStudy (shaik0124):

what is the value of m

OpenStudy (alurahenderson):

2?

OpenStudy (shaik0124):

how is it 2?

OpenStudy (alurahenderson):

oh -20??

OpenStudy (shaik0124):

yes
