What is the value of m in the equation 3+4m=15−2m

Answer 1

Greetings!

"What is the value of m in the equation:$3+4m=15-2m$?"...

Solve using the properties of equality:
Add 2m to both sides.
$(3+4m)+2m=(15-2m)+2m$
Add -3 to both sides.
$((3+4m)+2m)+(-3)=((15-2m)+2m)+(-3)$
Simplify.
$6m=12$
Divide both sides by 6.
$(6m)/6=(12)/6$
Simplify.
$m=12/6$
$m=2$

Hope this helps.
