Question

Solve for m.

−48=12(m+4)

Answer 1

m = -8

Explanation:

-48 = 12 ( m + 4 )

-48 = 12m + 48

12m = -48 -48

12m = -96

m = -96/12

m = -8

Answer 2

m = -8

Explanation:

-48=12(m+4)

Distribute to get -48=12m+48

Subtract both sides by 48 to get -96=12m

Divide both sides by 12 to get -8=m
