Three times the variable m minus four is equal to fourteen.
Another way could be:
Four less than three multiplied by m is equivalent to fourteen.
The first way I put it is simpler but if you really want to impress your teacher then I suggest going with the second way.
Also if you are looking to solve the equation then it would be:
3m - 4 = 14
+4 +4
------------
3m = 18
----- -----
3 3
m = 5
Hope that helped :-)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first set of parentheses is unnecessary, so it can just be removed.

To remove the second set of parentheses, you must distribute the negative sign that is to its left. It changes every sign inside the parentheses.

Now you combine like terms.


The Intersecting Secant Theorem says
EC × ED = EB × EA
(x+4)(x+4+1) = (x+1)(x+1+11)
(x+4)(x+5)=(x+1)(x+12)
x^2 + 9x + 20 = x^2 + 13 x + 12
8 = 4x
x = 2
Check:
6(7)=42
3(14)=42, good
Answer: 2
For this case we must find the value of "x" of the following expression:

Multiplying by 2 on both sides of the equation:

Subtracting 8x from both sides of the equation:

Adding 16 to both sides:

Dividing between -2 on both sides:
