Question

Solve for m in the given equation: 3(m + 2) = -( 6- m) + 10​

Answer 1

m = -1

Explanation:

3(m + 2) = -( 6- m) + 10​

Distribute

3m +6 = -6+m +10

Combine like terms

3m+6 = m+4

Subtract m from each side

3m-m+6 = m+4-m

2m+6 = 4

Subtract 6 from each side

2m+6-6 = 4-6

2m = -2

Divide by 2

2m/2 = -2/2

m = -1
