Explanation:

1.7m + 2(m + 1) = 9m + 5

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

7*m+2*(m+1)-(9*m+5)=0

(7m + 2 • (m + 1)) - (9m + 5) = 0

-3 = 0

Solve : -3 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

2.4m+2(m+1)=9m+5

m=−1

Pull out like factors :

-3m - 3 = -3 • (m + 1)

-3 • (m + 1) = 0

Solve : -3 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solve : m+1 = 0

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation :

m = -1
