Question

What is the value of m in −4(m−26)=−12m

Answer 1

-13

Explanation:

1. First distribute

2. Then get m on one side by adding 4m to both sides

3. Combine the numbers with the variable m

4. You need to get m by itself so divide both sides of the equation by -16

5. You should get m=-13

1.-4(m-26)=-4m+104 4m+4m+104=-12m

2. 104=-12m-4m

3. 104=-16m

4. 104/-13=-16/-16m

5. -13=m

Answer 2

M = -13

Explanation:

Divide both sides by -4−4.

m−26=3m

Subtract mm from both sides.

−26=3m−m

Simplify 3m - m to 2m.

−26=2m

Divide both sides by 2

− 26/2=m

Simplify 26/2 to 13

-13=m

Switch sides.

m=13
