8m + 4 = 3 (m-1-) + 7
Answers
Simplifying
8m + 4 = 3(m + -1) + 7
Reorder the terms:
4 + 8m = 3(m + -1) + 7
Reorder the terms:
4 + 8m = 3(-1 + m) + 7
4 + 8m = (-1 * 3 + m * 3) + 7
4 + 8m = (-3 + 3m) + 7
Reorder the terms:
4 + 8m = -3 + 7 + 3m
Combine like terms: -3 + 7 = 4
4 + 8m = 4 + 3m
Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + 8m = 4 + -4 + 3m
Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + 8m = 4 + -4 + 3m
8m = 4 + -4 + 3m
Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
8m = 0 + 3m
8m = 3m
Solving
8m = 3m
Solving for variable 'm'.
Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3m' to each side of the equation.
8m + -3m = 3m + -3m
Combine like terms: 8m + -3m = 5m
5m = 3m + -3m
Combine like terms: 3m + -3m = 0
5m = 0
Divide each side by '5'.
m = 0
Simplifying
m = 0
hope it helps you best of luck
