Answer 4

yea

Answer 5

Answer 6

Step 1: add 7 to both sides
Step 2: subtract 8m from both sides
Hint: you should now have: -2m = 26
Step 3: divide both sides by -2

Answer 7

ok one second then while i figure it out

Answer 8

to add 7 to both sides, write +7 on both sides like this
6m-7 + 7 =8m+19+7

notice you can simplify -7+7 on the left side.
and 19+7 on the right side
what do you get ?

Answer 9

sorry about that 26

Answer 10

but i thought you added 6m 8m first?

Answer 11

you can do this in different order.
but if we follow Xep's order (why not?)
we do
6m-7 + 7 =8m+19+7

yes 19+7 is 26 so we have
6m -7 + 7 = 8m + 26
what about -7+7 ?

Answer 12

sorry i'm kind of on and off. :P

Answer 13

ok

Answer 14

First you subtract 8m from both sides.

Then add 7 to both sides.

Then divide both sides of of the equation by -2

So ..... here is how to divide it.

-2m / -2 = -26/-2

M = ?

Answer 15

I assume you can simplify 7+ -7 , right ?

Answer 16

0

Answer 17

and 0 adding to anything (even 6m) does not change it.
in other words 6m+0 is just 6m
you now have
6m = 8m + 26

we want the "m"'s on the other side from the numbers
one way is add -8m to both sides, like this
-8m + 6m = -8m + 8m + 26

Answer 18

on the right side you have 8 m's take away 8 m's (that is what -8m + 8m means)
in other words , you get 0 for that part.

Answer 19

on the left, it's 6 m's take away 8 m's (we will get a negative number, but that is ok)
