Answer 1

Im guessing it's 1? @sweetburger

Answer 2

First step to this is distributing the 2(m+1) meaning you multiply 2 by m and 1

Answer 3

what does 2(m+1)=?

Answer 4

4?

Answer 5

Since m is 1, it would be 1+1, then 2 x 2=4?

Answer 6

alright so well break this up like this 2xm = 2m and 2x1= 2 so it becomes 2m+2

Answer 7

wait where did u think m=1?

Answer 8

It was a guess

Answer 9

well we can solve for m so dont guess yet

Answer 10

oh ok lol

Answer 11

my bad typo

Answer 12

4m+2m+2 = 9m+5

Answer 13

try to get all of the m's by themselves by add and subtracting them

Answer 14

next step is to divide right?

Answer 15

nope, no division yet

Answer 16

we still have to get all the m's together on one side of the equation

Answer 17

Subtract?

Answer 18

show me what you think you should do next and then i will correct you if you make a mistake

Answer 19

Honestly, I got no clue :(

Answer 20

It's either add or subtract lol

Answer 21

alright ill show you 4m +2m +2 = 9m +5 so im going to add 4m+2m and get 6m+2=9m+5 now im going to subtract 6m from both sides of the equation leaving me with 2=3m+5. Now i am going to get m by itself by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation giving us 3m=-3 so what does m=?

Answer 22

making sense?

Answer 23

Yeah

Answer 24

Soo m= -1

Answer 25

ya

Answer 26

Sweet, thanks man!
