Question

please help solve
3x=(2x-1) (m+4)?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3x = (2x + -1)(m + 4)

Reorder the terms:

3x = (-1 + 2x)(m + 4)

Reorder the terms:

3x = (-1 + 2x)(4 + m)

Multiply (-1 + 2x) * (4 + m)

3x = (-1(4 + m) + 2x * (4 + m))

3x = ((4 * -1 + m * -1) + 2x * (4 + m))

3x = ((-4 + -1m) + 2x * (4 + m))

3x = (-4 + -1m + (4 * 2x + m * 2x))

Reorder the terms:

3x = (-4 + -1m + (2mx + 8x))

3x = (-4 + -1m + (2mx + 8x))

3x = (-4 + -1m + 2mx + 8x)

Solving

3x = -4 + -1m + 2mx + 8x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2mx' to each side of the equation.

-2mx + 3x = -4 + -1m + 2mx + -2mx + 8x

Combine like terms: 2mx + -2mx = 0

-2mx + 3x = -4 + -1m + 0 + 8x

-2mx + 3x = -4 + -1m + 8x

Add '-8x' to each side of the equation.

-2mx + 3x + -8x = -4 + -1m + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 3x + -8x = -5x

-2mx + -5x = -4 + -1m + 8x + -8x

Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0

-2mx + -5x = -4 + -1m + 0

-2mx + -5x = -4 + -1m

Reorder the terms:

4 + m + -2mx + -5x = -4 + -1m + 4 + m

Reorder the terms:

4 + m + -2mx + -5x = -4 + 4 + -1m + m

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0

4 + m + -2mx + -5x = 0 + -1m + m

4 + m + -2mx + -5x = -1m + m

Combine like terms: -1m + m = 0

4 + m + -2mx + -5x = 0

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
