Question

2m-5=17 I need an step by step explanation

Answer 1

Answer: m=11

Step-by-step explanation:

First since there are no m's on the other side you cancel out the 5 by adding 5 to -5 and then add 5 to 17 which will give you 22

2m-5=17

+5 +5

2m=22

Now you divide 2m by to get the variable m by itself then divide the other side by 2

2m=22

÷2. ÷2

Which leaves you with

M=11

Answer 2

Answer: m = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this equation, you have to bring the 5 to the 17. To cancel out the -5 add a five. Then do that to 17. Now you have 2m = 22. To isolate m, divide. 2m divided by 2 is m, and 22 divided by 2 is 11. M = 11.
