Question

Combine like terms & solve : 150m - 100m + 48,500 = 51,000 - 200m

Answer 1

Answer:
`m=10`

Explanation:

1) Simplify both sides of the equation:
`150m+-100m+48500=51000+-200m`

`(150m+-100m)+(48500)=-200m+51000` (Combine Like Terms)

`50m+48500=-200m+51000`

2) Add 200m to both sides:
`50m+48500+200m=-200m+51000+200m`

`250m+48500=51000`

3) Subtract 48500 from both sides:
`250m+48500-48500=51000-48500`

`250m=2500`

4) Divide both sides by 250:
`250m/250=2500/250`

Get your answer:
`m=10`
