Question

How do you solve for m?

m= −(4+m)+2

Answer 1

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

Hope it helps : )

Answer 2

`\bf m = - 1`

Explanation:

`\bf m= −(4+m)+2`

First of all, let's Rearrange the given terms :-

`\bf m = - ( m +4) + 2`

Now, let's distribute:-

`\bf m = - m - 4 + 2`

Add numbers -4 + 2 = -2

`\bf m = - m - 2`

Add m to both sides, and combine like terms :-

`\bf 2m = - 2`

Divide both sides by 2 :-

`\bf m = - 1`
