Answer:
Explanation:
5(4m+1)-2m=-13
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
5(4m+1)−2m=−13
(5)(4m)+(5)(1)+−2m=−13(Distribute)
20m+5+−2m=−13
(20m+−2m)+(5)=−13(Combine Like Terms)
18m+5=−13
18m+5=−13
Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.
18m+5−5=−13−5
18m=−18
Step 3: Divide both sides by 18.
18m/18 = −18/18
m=−1
