Question

5(2m+3)-1(1-2m)=2[3(3+2m)-(3-m)]

Can you solve for the variable m?

Answer 1

10m + 15 - 1 + 2m = 2 [ 9 + 6m - 3 +m]
12m + 14 = 18 + 12m - 6 + m
12m + 14 = 12 + 13m
12m - 13m = 12 - 14
-m = - 2
m = 2

Answer 2

you could start by doing distributive property then getting like terms together
