pleasee

Answer 2

Answer:

option (a) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us give constant n and m some value say 5 and 2 respectively.

x+ m=n

now, it should be solved like this:

x = n - m

x = 5-2

x = 3

but Nate has made a mistake so according to that it will be solved like this:

x = 5+2

x = 7

Difference in both the values = 7-3 = 4 = 2m

2m = 2(2) = 4
