Question

How do you solve -8m+53=-8(m+7)?

Answer 1

First distribute -8 to all terms within the parenthesis.

-8(m + 7) = -8m - 56

Next, isolate the m. Add 8m to both sides, and subtract -53 from both sides.

-8m (+8m) + 53 (-53) = -8m (+8m) - 56 -53

-8m + 8m = -56 - 53

Simplify

0 ≠ - 109

Answer 2

There is no solutions

First you need to simplify the right side of the equation by distributing -8 into the terms inside the parenthesis:

-8 * m = -8m

-8 * 7 = -56

The equation is now -8m + 53 = -8m - 56

Solve this out and you get an expression that is not true therefore the answer is no solutions
