Question

What is the solution to this equation?

-2(2 - 4m) = 6(m + 3)

Answer 1

m = 11

Explanation:

-2(2 - 4m) = 6(m + 3)

Divide both sides by -2.

2 - 4m = -3(m + 3)

Distribute -3 on the left side.

2 - 4m = -3m - 9

Add 3m to both sides.

2 - m = -9

Subtract 2 from both sides.

-m = -11

Divide both sides by -1.

m = 11
