Question

Someone help- I don't know how to solve this- maybe my teacher typed it in wrong? 2.4(m - 3) = 3.8 = -8.2

Answer 1

m = 4.58

Explanation:

Given equation :

2.4 ( m - 3) = 3.8

So now we open the brackets and multiply the terms.

⇒ 2.4 m - 7.2 = 3.8

⇒ 2.4 m = 3.8 + 7.2

⇒ 2.4 m = 11

⇒ m =
`(11)/(2.4)`

⇒ m = 4.58

Therefore, the correct value of the variable m by solving the equation is 4.58
