Question

If 362m-6 = 6m+9 , the value of m is

(i) 0 (ii) 7 (iii) 15 (iv) can’t be found​

Answer 1

Answer:

(iv) can’t be found

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

• 362m-6 = 6m+9

We are asked to calculate the value of m. In order to calculate the value of m, we'll be using the transposition method.

• This is the method used to solve a linear equation having variables and constants.
• In this method, we transpose the values from R.H.S to L.H.S and vice-versa and changes its sign while transposing to find the value of the unknown value.

$\longrightarrow$ 362m - 6 = 6m + 9

Transposing like terms, their sign will get changed.

$\longrightarrow$ 362m - 6m = 9 + 6

Performing addition and subtraction in L.H.S and R.H.S.

$\longrightarrow$ 356m = 15

Transposing 356 from L.H.S to R.H.S.

$\longrightarrow$ m = 15/356

Therefore, the value of m is 15/356.

As there is no option which includes 15/356, so option (iv) is correct that is can’t be found.
