Question

-10(2m+1)=-50

solve for m

Answer 1

-7

Explanation:

Distribute the -10: -20-10m=50

Add 20 to both sides: -10m=70

Divide by -10 to isolate 70

m = -7

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation: Distributing the -10 to the parentheses, we get:

-20m -10 = -50

Adding 10 to both sides:

-20m = -40

dividing both sides by -20:

m = 2

So the solution for m is 2.
