Question

4(4m-3)-m(m-5)=-52 need all the steps

Answer 1

$\huge\mathcal {♨Answer♥}$

$\large\texttt{Simplifying: }$

4(4m -3) + -1m(m + -5) = -52

$\large\texttt{Reorder the terms: }$

4(-3 + 4m) + -1(m + -5) = -52

(-3 * 4 + 4m * 4) + -1(m + -5) = -52

(-12 + 16m) + -1(m + -5) = -52

$\large\texttt{Reorder the terms: }$

-12 + 16m + -1(-5 + m) = -52

-12 + 16m + (-5 * -1 + m * -1) = -52

-12 + 16m + (5 + -1m) = -52

$\large\texttt{Reorder the terms: }$

-12 + 5 + 16m + -1m = -52

$\large\texttt{Combine like terms: }$

-12 + 5 = -7

-7 + 16m + -1m = -52

$\large\texttt{Combine like terms: }$

16m + -1m = 15m

-7 + 15m = -52

$\large\texttt{Solving: }$

-7 + 15m = -52

-7 + 7 + 15m = -52 + 7

$\large\texttt{Combine like terms: }$

-7 + 7 = 0

0 + 15m = -52 + 7

15m = -52 + 7

$\large\texttt{Combine like terms: }$

-52 + 7 = -45

15m = -45

$\large\texttt{Divide each side by '15'. }$

15m ÷ 15 = -45 ÷ 15

m = -3

$\large\texttt{Simplifying: }$

m = -3
