12m-6+2m(8-5)-(3m-6)(7-2)=0 then the value of m
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
12m + -6 + 2m(8 + -5) + -1(3m + -6)(7 + -2) = 0
Combine like terms: 8 + -5 = 3
12m + -6 + 2m(3) + -1(3m + -6)(7 + -2) = 0
Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
12m + -6 + 2 * 3m + -1(3m + -6)(7 + -2) = 0
Multiply 2 * 3
12m + -6 + 6m + -1(3m + -6)(7 + -2) = 0
Reorder the terms:
12m + -6 + 6m + -1(-6 + 3m)(7 + -2) = 0
Combine like terms: 7 + -2 = 5
12m + -6 + 6m + -1(-6 + 3m)(5) = 0
Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
12m + -6 + 6m + -1 * 5(-6 + 3m) = 0
Multiply -1 * 5
12m + -6 + 6m + -5(-6 + 3m) = 0
12m + -6 + 6m + (-6 * -5 + 3m * -5) = 0
12m + -6 + 6m + (30 + -15m) = 0
Reorder the terms:
-6 + 30 + 12m + 6m + -15m = 0
Combine like terms: -6 + 30 = 24
24 + 12m + 6m + -15m = 0
Combine like terms: 12m + 6m = 18m
24 + 18m + -15m = 0
Combine like terms: 18m + -15m = 3m
24 + 3m = 0
Solving
24 + 3m = 0
Solving for variable 'm'.
Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-24' to each side of the equation.
24 + -24 + 3m = 0 + -24
Combine like terms: 24 + -24 = 0
0 + 3m = 0 + -24
3m = 0 + -24
Combine like terms: 0 + -24 = -24
3m = -24
Divide each side by '3'.
m = -8
Simplifying
m = -8
