The resulting equation after distributing and combining the like terms is (c) 24 - 6m = 6m - 7
What equation do we get after distributing and combining the like terms?
From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:
8 * (3 - 3/4m) = 5m + m - 7
Distribution the brackets, we have
8 * 3 - 8 * 3/4m = 5m + m - 7
So, we have
24 - 6m = 5m + m - 7
When the like terms are evaluated, we have
24 - 6m = 6m - 7
Hence, the resulting equation is (c) 24 - 6m = 6m - 7
Question
What equation do we get after distributing and combining the like terms?
8 * (3 - 3/4m) = 5m + m - 7
33 – 6m = 9m – 7
42 – 6m = 20m – 2
24 – 6m = 6m – 7
24 = 3m
