Question

5m-8=2m+2 what does m equal

Answer 1

Answer:

m = 10/3

(as a decimal: m = 3.333...)

Step-by-step explanation:

5m - 8 = 2m + 2

 5m - 8 = 2m + 2

- 2m       - 2m              (make all "m" on one side to isolate variable)

 3m - 8 = 2    

      + 8 + 8              (get m entirely on 1 side)

3m = 10

÷3      ÷3                         (divide by 3 to get 1m)

m = 10/3

(as a decimal: m = 3.333...)

hope this helps!! have a lovely day :)
