Question

solve the following equations.
1. 4 (m+3)=18
2. -2(x-3)=8​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 4(m+3) = 18

  4m + 3m = 18

  7m = 18

  m = 18/7

2.  -2(x-3) = 8

   -2x + 6 = 8

    -2x = 8-6 = 2

     x = 2/-2 = - 1

Answer 2

Answer:

1. 4m +12 =18

4m=18-12

4m=6

m=6/4

m=3/2

2. -2x -6 =8

-2x=8+6

-2x=14

x=14/-2

x= -7
