Question

18m+14=-2m-1 what value of m makes the equation true?

Answer 1

Answer
`m=-(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

Start by getting all
`m` terms to one side of the equation

`18m+14=-2m-1`

`+2m`
`+2m`

`20m+14=-1`

Then isolate the
`m` term

`20m+14=-1`

`-14`
`-14`

`20m=-15`

Divide both sides by the coefficient of
`m` (
`20`)

`20m=-15`

÷
`20` ÷
`20`

`m=-(15)/(20)`

And lastly, simplify the fractions

`m=-(15)/(20)`

`m=-(3)/(4)`
