Question

Solve the equation-8+6m= 1/2(4m+16) for m

Answer 1

6m - 8 = 2m + 8

4m = 16

m = 4

Explanation:

Answer 2

m = 4

Explanation:

Given

- 8 + 6m =
`(1)/(2)`(4m + 16) ← distribute parenthesis

- 8 + 6m = 2m + 8 ( subtract 2m from both sides )

- 8 + 4m = 8 ( add 8 to both sides )

4m = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )

m = 4
