Question

Solve for m.

m − 10 + 6m = 10 + 2m

m =

Answer 1

m=4

Explanation:

m − 10 + 6m = 10 + 2m

7m - 10 = 10 + 2m (subtract 2m from both sides)

7m - 10 - 2m = 10

5m - 10 = 10 (add 10 to both sides)

5m = 10 + 10

5m = 20 (divide both sides by 5)

m = 20/5

m = 4

Answer 2

m = 4

Explanation:

m−10+6m=10+2m

7m-10=10+2m

Subtract 2m from both sides

5m-10=10

Add 10 to both sides

5m=20

Divide both sides by 5

m=4
