Question

PLEASE HELP. are the values of the expressions 2m−13 and m+3 equal?

Answer 1

Change m into 16.

m = 16

Explanation:

So let’s start off by changing the expression to an equation.

Well let’s see to make the values equal we have to find the value of m first.

So we can set up the following equation ->
`2m-13=m+3`.

So we have to simplify the equation to find m.

First off we want all the m’s on one side so we subtract the m on the left onto 2m and we just get m. The equation now looks like this ->
`m-13=3`.

Now we have to get all the whole numbers on one side so we add 13 onto 3 and we get 16. Now we have
`m=16`, so now we have to plug 16 in on the equation to see if they are equal. So we have
`2(16)-13=(16)+3`.

Now let’s simplify it, 2*16=32-13 is 19.

Time for the next side 16+3 is 19 so m replaced as 16 makes the expressions equal.

Answer 2

yes

Explanation:

m=16
