I believe it's +16, if you complete the square you'd have (x+4)^2 - 16 + a = 0 where a is the value you're looking for, so to make this correct you need a = 16

Answer:

m = 17.78.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the algebraic expression;

2.5m + 10 = 1.6m - 6

To find the value of m;

First of all, we would collect like terms.

2.5m - 1.6m = -6 - 10

0.9m = -16

m = -16/0.9

m = 17.78
