Question

Generate a plan and describe the steps needed to solve the equation. 34 = –(m + 3)

Answer 1

Answer:

34=−(m+3)

34=−m−3

37=−m

m=−37

First, we factor the - into the parentheses.

Then we add 3 to both sides.

Then we multiply both sides by -1.

Answer 2

As we know that we can generate a plan.

To solve the equation 34=-(m+3), factor the - into the parentheses.

After that, we can add 3 to both sides of the equation.

Then it can multiply both sides by -1.

So,

$34=$ − $(m+3)$

$34=$−$m$−$3$

$37=$−$m$

Hence$m=$−$37$
