Question

Which of the following is the solution set of the given equation?

14 + 8m = 14 - 3m - 5m

∅

{0}

{all reals}

Answer 1

Option 2nd is correct

the solution set of the given equation is, {0}

Explanation:

Given the equation:

`14+8m = 14-3m-5m`

Like terms are those terms which have same variable to the same power.

Combine like terms;

`14+8m = 14-8m`

Add 8m both sides we have;

`14+16m = 14`

Subtract 14 from both sides we have;

`16m =0`

Divide both sides by 16 we have;

m = 0

Therefore, the solution set of the given equation is, {0}
