Question

PRE-ACT QUESTION: If 9m - 3 = -318, then 14m = ?

Answer 1

14m = -490

Explanation:

9m - 3 = -318, then 14m = ?

First solve for m:

9m - 3 = -318

9m - 3 + 3 = -318 + 3

9m = -315

9m/9 = -315/9

m = -35

Now substitute:

14m = ? when m = -35 so:

14(-35) = -490

14m = -490

Answer 2

Answer: 14m = -490

Explanation:

9m - 3 = -318

9m = -315

m = -35

14(-35) = -490

Hope this helps!
