Question

-2(6m + 5) = -5m + 18

solve for m

Answer 1

Answer: m = -4

Step-by-step explanation: First distribute to get -12m -10 = -5m+18, then add 5m on both sides to get -7m -10 = 18, then add 10 on both sides to get -7m = 28, finally divide by -7 on both sides to get m = -4.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

m =-4

Explanation:

-12m-10=-5m+18

add 5m to both sides

-7m-10=18

add 10 to both sides

-7m=28

divide both sides by -7

m= -4
