What is the value of m in the equation 3+4m=15−2m

Answer 1

Greetings!

"What is the value of m in the equation:
`3+4m=15-2m`?"...

Solve using the properties of equality:
Add 2m to both sides.

`(3+4m)+2m=(15-2m)+2m`
Add -3 to both sides.

`((3+4m)+2m)+(-3)=((15-2m)+2m)+(-3)`
Simplify.

`6m=12`
Divide both sides by 6.

`(6m)/6=(12)/6`
Simplify.

`m=12/6`

`m=2`

Hope this helps.
