Question

If m1 = 10x + 4 and m_2
5x - 4, find m_2

Answer 1

-12

Explanation:

Since m1 = 10x + 4 and m2 = 5x - 4 then we can write it as:

10x+4=5x-4

Combine the like terms:

10x-5x=-4-4

5x=-8

Divide both sides by 5

5x= -8/5

x=-8/5

Now substitute the value of x in 5x-4

= 5(-8/5) - 4

= -8-4

= -12

Thus m2 = -12....
