Question

4(m+3)-8n=16 what does m =

Answer 1

m=1+2n

Explanation:

4(m+3)-8n=16

4m+12-8n=16

4m=16-12+8n

4m=4+8n

4m=4(1+2n)

m=1+2n

Answer 2

`\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{m=2n+1}}`

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you have to isolate the term of m on one side of the equation.

4(m+3)-8n=16

First, add by 8n from both sides.

`\Longrightarrow: \sf{4\left(m+3\right)-8n+8n=16+8n}`

Solve.

`\Longrightarrow: \sf{4\left(m+3\right)=16+8n}`

Then, you divide by 4 from both sides.

`\Longrightarrow: \sf{(4\left(m+3\right))/(4)=(16)/(4)+(8n)/(4)}`

Solve.

16/4+8n/4=2(n+2)

m+3=2(n+2)

Subtract by 3 from both sides.

`\Longrightarrow: \sf{m+3-3=2\left(n+2\right)-3}`

Solve.

`\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{m=2n+1}}`

• Therefore, the correct answer is m=2n+1.
