Question

What does 4(m-2)=2(m-9) equal

Answer 1

Answer:

m = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides of the equation.

4(m−2)=2(m−9)

(4)(m)+(4)(−2)=(2)(m)+(2)(−9)(Distribute)

4m+−8=2m+−18

4m−8=2m−18

Subtract 2m from both sides.

4m−8−2m=2m−18−2m

2m−8=−18

Add 8 to both sides.

2m−8+8=−18+8

2m=−10

Divide both sides by 2.

2m/2 = -10/2

m = -5
