Question

Which of the following is the solution set of the given equation?
14 + 8m = 14 - 3m - 5m

Answer 1

m= 0

Explanation:

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

14 + 8m = 14 - 8m (Subtract 3m and 5m)

14 + 16m = 14 (Add 8m to both sides)

16m = 0 (Subtract 14 from both sides)

m = 0 (Divide 16 from both sides)

Answer 2

14 + 8m = 14 - 3m - 5m
14 + 8m = 14 - 8m (Subtract 3m and 5m)
14 + 16m = 14 (Add 8m to both sides)
16m = 0 (Subtract 14 from both sides)
m = 0 (Divide 16 from both sides)
