Question

Solve the equation 15+3m=4(m+3).

First, multiply each term in the parentheses by
15+3m=4(m+3)
15+3m=4m+12
What is the value of m? m =

Answer 1

The value of 'm' in the equation is 3, solved by distributing and isolating the variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation 15 + 3m = 4(m + 3), first expand the right side of the equation by distributing the 4 into the parentheses, which yields 15 + 3m = 4m + 12.

Next, to isolate the variable 'm', we can subtract '3m' from both sides to get 15 = m + 12. Then, we subtract 12 from both sides to solve for 'm', resulting in m = 3.
