Question

FAN AND MEDAL

Answer 1

first note that there is just a negative sign outside the parentheses
its equivalent to -1 so you need to distribute -1 over the (m + 3)

Answer 2

so we have
34 = -1*m - 1*3
can you continue?

Answer 3

next isolate the -1m by adding 3 to both sides of the equation

Answer 4

34 +3 = -1m - 3 + 3
37 = -1m

Answer 5

how did you get -2 5?

Answer 6

what happened to the m?

Answer 7

-1m = 37
divide both sides by -1 and you get the value of m
