Question

Please explain,
2 (4m-5) - (6m-11) =33

Answer 1

m = 16

Explanation:

2(4m - 5) - (6m - 11) = 33 (Given)

8m - 10 - 6m + 11 = 33 (Distribute)

2m + 1 = 33 (Combine like terms)

2m = 32 (Subtract 1 on both sides)

m = 16 (Divide 2 on both sides)

You can check by substituting your answer into the equation:

2(4(16) - 5) - (6(16) - 11) = 33

2(64 - 5) - (96 - 11) = 33

2(59) - (85) = 33

118 - 85 = 33

33 = 33
