is that -4(m-1)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no m+1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
9m-4m+4=-3m+20
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry

It's okay. Can you solve for that equation?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how did you get another 4??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-4(m+1)=-4m-4
-4*1=-4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ahhh right sorry about that some people do it another way and i got confused. :P
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its actually M=3

no sorry to break it to you but i already had the answer and needed help finding the steps

9m−4(m+1)=−(3m−20)
Simplify both sides of the equation.
9m−4(m+1)=−(3m−20)
9m+(−4)(m)+(−4)(1)=−3m+20(Distribute)
9m+−4m+−4=−3m+20
(9m+−4m)+(−4)=−3m+20(Combine Like Terms)
5m+−4=−3m+20
5m−4=−3m+20
Add 3m to both sides.
5m−4+3m=−3m+20+3m
8m−4=20
Add 4 to both sides.
8m−4+4=20+4
8m=24
Divide both sides by 8.
8m/8=24/8
m=?
Tell me what 24 / 8 equals to. :P
