Question

Solve for m
–m + 8 = –4m − 10

Answer 1

m=-6

Explanation:

–m + 8 = –4m − 10

Subtract 8 from both sides

-m+8-8=-4m-10-8

Simplify:

-m=-4m-18

Add 4m to both sides

-m+4m=-4m-18+4m

Simplify:

3m=-18

Divide both sides by 3

3m/3=-18/3

-18/3=-6

m=-6

Answer 2

m=-6

Explanation:

-m + 8 = -4m -10

+m. +m.

8= -3m -10

+10. +10

18 = -3m

/-3m /-3m

-6=m
