Question

m - 3 m - 3
____ + ____. = -13, find m
2 2​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{m - 3}{2} + \frac{m - 3}{2} = - 13 \\ \frac{m - 3 + m - 3}{2} = - 13 \\ \frac{2m - 6}{2} = - 13 \\ 2m - 6 = - 13 \times 2 \\ 2m - 6 = - 26 \\ 2m = - 26 + 6 \\ 2m = - 20 \\ m = \frac{ - 20}{2} \\ \boxed{m = \: \: \underline{ \underline{ - 10}}}$
