Question

2. What is the solution to the equation..

5m − (m + 4) = 2?
f. -1/2
g. 1/2
h. 1
j. 3/2
k. 3

Answer 1

J. 3/2

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5m−(m+4)=2

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5m−(m+4)=2

5m+−1(m+4)=2(Distribute the Negative Sign)

5m+−1m+(−1)(4)=2

5m+−m+−4=2

(5m+−m)+(−4)=2(Combine Like Terms)

4m+−4=2

4m−4=2
