Answer:

4 is your value for m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable, m. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, add 5 & m to both sides:

2m (+ m) - 5 (+ 5) = - m (+ m) + 7 (+ 5)

2m + m = 7 + 5

Simplify. Combine like terms:

3m = 12

Isolate the variable, m. Divide 3 from both sides:

(3m)/3 = (12)/3

m = 12/3

m = 4

m = 4 is your answer.

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

$= -16p+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

First we simplify:

$9-4(2p+3)-8p+7$

Then we distribute:

$=9+(-4)(2p)+(-4)(3)+(-8p)+7\\=9+(-8p)+(-12)+(-8p)+7$

Lastly, combine like terms:

$=9+-8p+-12+-8p+7\\=(-8p+-8p)+(9+-12+7)\\=-16p+4$

Hope this helps!

Have a good evening! :)

Which equation represents the line that passes through points (1, –5) and (3, –17)? y = negative 6 x + 1 y = 6 x + 1 y = negativ

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Using y = mx + c

slope = -17+5/3-1 = -12/2 = -6

Using point (1 , - 5)

y + 5 = -6(x - 1)

y + 5 = - 6x + 6

y = - 6x + 6 - 5

y = - 6x + 1

Hope this helps.
