Question

7. What is the solution to-(6m+ 8) = 4(17 - m)?

Answer 1

-38

Explanation:

So we have the equation:

`-(6m+8)=4(17-m)`

On the left, distribute. On the right, distribute also. So:

`-6m-8=68-4m`

Add 6m to both sides:

`-8=68+2m`

Subtract 68 from both sides:

`-76=2m`

Divide both sides by 2:

`m=-38`

And we're done!
