Question

5 (m - 3) = 40

What do 5m and m represent?

(Quick Question I NEED REAL QUICK!)
(Thanks)

Answer 1

`5(m -3 ) = 40 \\ = > 5m - 15 = 40 \\ = > 5m = 40 + 15 \\ = > 5m = 55 \\ = > m = 11`

Therefore, m = 11

5m = 5 × 11 = 55

Answers

5m is 55, m is 11.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

m=11

5m=55

Explanation:

To find the answer to this question, isolate m. Do this by using the properties of equality.

First, distribute the 5 to the terms within the parentheses

• 5m-15=40

Then, add 15 to both sides

• 5m=55

Next, divide both sides by 5

• m=11

This gives you the solution to both questions. If you want to check the answer, simply plug the variable back in. This gives you, 5(11-3)=40. Once solved this equals 40=40. Therefore, 11 is correct.
