Question

8m+(7m-1)=(5m-m)-(3-m) what is the amount of m?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of m is -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

8m + (7m - 1) = (5m - m) - (3 - m)

8m + 7m - 1 = 4m - 3 + m

8m + 7m - 1 = 4m + m - 3

15m - 1 = 5m - 3

15m - 5m = -3 + 1

10m = -2

m = -10/2

m = -5

Answer 2

Answer:

m = - 1 / 5 ( or ) - 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

8m + ( 7m - 1 ) = ( 5m - m ) - ( 3 - m )

8m + 7m - 1 = 5m - m - 3 + m

8m + 7m - 1 = 5m - m + m - 3

15m - 1 = 5m - 3

15m - 5m = - 3 + 1

10m = - 2

m = - 2 / 10

m = - 1 / 5

( or )

m = - 0.2
