Question

-3m = 4m + 14 I'm so confused on how to do it

Answer 1

Hey there!

Combine your like terms!

(
`-3m` and
`4m` )

Since
`4m` is the greatest one we have to
`subtract` it from each of your sides

Like:
`-3m - 4m \\ =  4m + 14 - 4m`

This gives us:
`-7 = 14`

Both numbers are equal to
`7` , so we have to divide by
`-7` on each of your sides


`(-7m)/(7) (Cancel) \\ \\ = (14)/(-7) (Keep)`

Therefore the value of
is
`-2`

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Answer 2

-3m (-4m) = 4m + 14 (-4m)

-3m - 4m = 14 (simplify)

-7m/ -7 = 14/ -7 (isolate the variable)

m = -2 (answer)

hope this helps
