Because it has already been factored, we can solve it straight away. Now, since m is a variable, we yield the same result if m = 0 or m = 3 because we have two components to this equation.
We can either have m = 0 or m - 3 = 0
Hence, m is either 0 or 3
8 - 2x = -8x + 14 <em>subtract 8 from both sides</em>
-2x = -8x + 6 <em>add 8x to both sides</em>
6x = 6 <em>divide both sides by 6</em>
<h3>x = 1</h3>
<span> Jan, Maya and
Sarah run a total of 64 miles per week
How many miles did Sarah run if she ran less than 8 miles compare to Maya and Jan
Jan and Maya = x
Sarah = x
Total miles = 64
=> 64 = x + x + x-8
=> 64 = 3x – 8
=> 72 = 3x
=> x = 24
Since Jan and Maya ran the same miles, they ran 24 miles each
Since Sarah is 8 less than Maya’s and Jan’s ran each
=> x – 8
=> 24 -8
=> 16
Sarah ran 16 miles in a week.
