Question

What value of m makes the equation true? 2(m+1.5)=m+10

Answer 1

2(m+1.5)=m+10 m=7

Explanation:

Distribute 2 to the m and the "1.5". You get 2m+3

You then drop the m+10 and the equation is 2m+3 = m+10

After that, you subtract the "m" over to the "2m" which becomes m+3 = 10

You then subtract the 3 over to the 10 which finally comes to m=7
