Question

The measure x and y are equal. Which is the value of m

Answer 1

For this problem we know that the measure of x and y are equal. So then we can set up the following equation:

`3(m+2)=5m-58`

If we distribute the terms in the left of the equation we got:

`3m+6=5m-58`

And solving for m we got:

`58+6=2m`
`m=(64)/(2)=32`

And then the final answer for this case would be m=32
