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