Question

-2(m + 6) + 1 =3 solve for m

Answer 1

Answer:

m = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 1 from both sides:

−2 (m + 6) = 3 − 1

−2 (m  +6) = 2

Divide both sides by -2:

m + 6= -1

Subtract 6 from both sides:

m = −1 − 6

Simplify -1 - 6 to -7:

m = -7

Answer 2

Answer: M=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(m+6)+1=3

subtract 1 from both sides

-2(m+6)=2

divide by negative 2

m+6=-1

subtract 6 from both sides

m=-7
