Question

0.5(m + 4) = 3(m – 1)
2
no solution
identity

Answer 1

The value of m is 2

Explanation:

we have

`0.5(m+4)=3(m-1)`

Solve for m

Distribute both sides

`0.5(m)+0.5(4)=3(m)-3(1)`

`0.5m+2=3m-3`

Group terms that contain the same variable

`3m-0.5m=2+3`

`2.5m=5`

`m=2`

therefore

The value of m is 2
