Question

−4(m+3)=24 What is M? Please answer.

Answer 1

The answer is -9

-4(m+3)=24
-4m-12=24

You add 12 to both sides to cancel out -12

-4m=36
Then you divide -4 from both sides

M= -9

Answer 2

m = -9

Explanation:

-4(m+3)=24

You must distribute first.

-4m - 12 = 24

+12 +12

-4m = 36

--- = ---

-4 -4

m = -9
