Question

Solve for each variable in the equation 8(3m - 2) - 7m =0

Answer 1

`(16)/(17)`

Explanation:

1. Distribute 8:

8(3m) + 8(-2)

24m - 16 - 7m = 0

2. Combine like terms:

17m - 16 = 0

3. Add 16 to both sides of the equation:

17m = 16

4. Divide both sides of the equation by 17:

m =
`(16)/(17)`

hope this helps :)

Answer 2

m=16/17

Explanation:

8(3m-2)-7m=0

24m-16-7m=0

17m-16=0

17m=16

m=16/17
