Question

2(4m + 1) = 4(3 + 2m) what os the value of m in the equation below?​

Answer 1

any or all real number, meaning anything works, the equations are equal!

Explanation:

2(4m + 1) = 4(3 + 2m)

8m+2=12+8m

8m=10+8m

0=10

this means that m can be any real number

hope this helped!

Answer 2

No solution.

Explanation:

`2(4m + 1) = 4(3 + 2m)\\`

Expand:

`2*4m+2*1=4*3+4*2m`

`8m+2=12+8m`

Subtract 2 from both sides:

`8m+2-2=12+8m-2`

`8m=8m+10`

Subtract 8m from both sides:

`8m-8m=8m+10-8m`

`0=10`

Since both sides are not equal, there is no solution, because the value of m will not affect this end result of
`0=10` which is false.
