Question

The solution of the equation 2 (m + 3) = 8 is

(a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 4​

Answer 1

Question:

2(m + 3) = 8

solution :

2(m + 3) = 8

2m + 6 = 8

2m = 8 - 6

2m = 2

m = 2/2 = 1

now put the value of m in question

2(m + 3 ) = 8

2( 1 + 3 )= 8

2 * 4 = 8

8 = 8

so the solution of equation is 1

Answer 2

Answer:

=> The value of m is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$2 (m + 3) = 8$

To find:- The value of m,

To solve this, we have to use the transposition method:  

As we have,

=> $2 (m + 3) = 8$

Distributing the term, we get

=> $2m + 6 = 8$

Subtract both sides by $6$,

=> $2m + 6-6 = 8-6$

Simplifying it further, we get

=> $2m = 8-6$

Subtracting the numbers,

=> $2m = 2$

Divide both sides by $2$,

=> $m = 1$

Hence, the required solution is 1.
