Step-by-step explanation

i just took the test

Answer 2

38

Explanation:

The rule of PEMDAS (parentheses, exponents, multiply, divide, addition, subtraction) must be followed when solving this equation.

1. Simplify the equation

m · 6 + 3 · 4 = 240

m · 6 + 12 = 240

2. Solve for m

- subtract 12 from both sides

m · 6 = 228

- divide both sides by 6

228 ÷ 6 = 38

m = 38
