Question

Which of the following is the value of 'm' in the equation 2m - 12 = 6?

Answer 1

Solving equations

----------------------------------------------------

Let's solve the problem given to us today! The problem is :

`\mapsto\quad\bf{2m-12=6}`

We need to find the value of m by solving this equation.

-----------------------------------

In order to solve for m, begin by adding 12 to both sides:

`\mapsto\quad\bf{2m=18}`

Then, to get your answer, divide both sides by 2 :

`\mapsto\quad\bf{m=9}`

Therefore, m = 9.

Answer 2

• m = 9

Explanation:

Given equation : 2m - 12 = 6

To calculate : value of m

`2m - 12 = 6`

Add 12 on both sides,

`2m - 12 + 12 = 6 + 12`

`2m = 18`

Divide both sides by 2,

`m = 9`

Hence the value of m is 9.
