Question

Solve for m. 3m + 3 = 15 - m m = [?] Enter

Answer 1

Answer:

m = 3

Explanation:

Simplifying

3m + 3 = 15 + -1m

Reorder the terms:

3 + 3m = 15 + -1m

Solving

3 + 3m = 15 + -1m

Solving for variable 'm'.

Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add 'm' to each side of the equation.

3 + 3m + m = 15 + -1m + m

Combine like terms: 3m + m = 4m

3 + 4m = 15 + -1m + m

Combine like terms: -1m + m = 0

3 + 4m = 15 + 0

3 + 4m = 15

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.

3 + -3 + 4m = 15 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0

0 + 4m = 15 + -3

4m = 15 + -3

Combine like terms: 15 + -3 = 12

4m = 12

Divide each side by '4'.

m = 3

Simplifying

m = 3

Answer 2

The answer for this equation is m=3
