this is your problem and you have to find M?!
2(m-8)=4(m+6) i just mulitmlied 2(8)=14 and 4(6)=24
2m-14=4m+24

Answer 11

Do you know what to do now?

Answer 12

no

Answer 13

PEMDAS! do you know what that is?

Answer 14

multiply 2m and 4m then

Answer 19

im still kinda confused

Answer 20

on what?

Answer 21

variables in expressions. so whats next

Answer 22

ok I just Re-did my calculations and starting from the
2m-14=4m+24
you would subtract not multipli sorry. lol
2m-14=4m+24 all i did here was -14 from both sides 24-14=10
2m=4m+ 10

Answer 23

no we have to get m by itself.

Answer 24

ok

Answer 25

and to do that we would have to divide by 4 on each side so,
2m=4m+10
/4 /4 cause we want the 10 to be alone as well.

Answer 26

ok

Answer 27

so what do you get?

Answer 28

2m=m+10

Answer 29

no if we were to divide 4 to both sides
2m=4m+10 all I did here is divide 4 by 2 4/2=.5
.5m=10

Answer 30

ok

Answer 31

now just do 10/.5 and see what you get!

Answer 32
