Answer:

m = 28

Explanation:

The given expression is :

0.1(0.5m+6)=2

Step 1.

Use distributive property:

0.1(0.5m) +0.1(6) = 2

0.05 m+ 0.6 = 2

Step 2.

Subtract 0.6 both sides

0.05 m+ 0.6 -0.6= 2 -0.6

0.05 m = 1.4

or

0.5 m = 14

Step 3.

Divide both sides by 0.5


m=(14)/(0.5)\\\\m= 28

Gabi's third step is not correct. It should be m = 28 instead of m = 7.
