2m+5=5(m-7)-3m equals??

2m + 5 = 5(m - 7) - 3m

2m + 5 = 5m - 35 - 3m

2m + 5 = 2m - 35

2m + 5 - 5 = 2m - 35 - 5

2m = 2m - 30

2m - 2m = 2m - 2m - 30

0 = -30

0 does not equal -30 - so this is an inequality - cannot solve for m

<u><em>No solution</em></u>

2m+5=5(m-7)-3m
first, use distributive property...
2m+5=5m-35-3m
next, combine like terms on the right side...
2m+5=2m-35
next, subtract 2m from both sides.
2m+5=2m-35
-2m -2m
you will get....
5=-35 in which is not true. This means the equation has no solution.

Hi there

Root=0.5 means x=0.5

Plug in 0.5 for x
(b-5)0.5^2-(b-2)0.5+b=0
(b-5)0.25-(b-2)035+b=0
Simplify
0.75b-2.25=0
b=3

Hope this helps
