Question

Can you explain how to solve this If 6m+4=8m then 4m =

Answer 1

First, we need to solve for m. To do this, lets get m on one side and the constants (just numbers) on the other side, so we:

`6m+4=8m \\ subtract \\ 4=-2m \\ divide \\ m=-2`
First we subtract 6m from both sides. Then we divide by -2 to find out that m is equal to -2. Now, we need to find what 4m equals. So, we need to multiply m by 4:

`4m \\ 4(-2) \\ -8`
4m is equal to -8.
