By equating the given expression -3 - 8/2 - 4 to the value -11/6 and solving for M, we find that M equals 1.
To find the value of M when M is expressed as the expression -3 - 8/2 - 4 and is also given as -11/6, we can equate the two expressions:
-3 - 8/2 - 4 = -11/6
Firstly, simplify the expression on the left side:
-3 - 8/2 - 4 = -3 - 4 - 4 = -7 - 4 = -11
Now, set this equal to -11/6:
-11 = -11/6
To solve for M, we can multiply both sides of the equation by -6/11 to isolate M:
M = -11/6 * -6/11 = 1
Therefore, the value of M is 1 when M = -3 - 8/2 - 4 and M = -11/6.
Complete question:
What is the value of M when M = -3 - 8/2 - 4 and M = -11/6?
