Answer:
C, D, and E
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
B) -7m - 8 = m - 4
D) m - 4 = -7m - 8
E) -8 - 7m = -4 + m
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve all of the equations to see if they end up with the same result. Start with the original:
-2m - 5m - 8 = 3 + (-7) + m
-7m - 8 = -4 + m (now we know B and D and E are correct)
-7m - m - 8 = -4 + m - m
-8m - 8 = -4
-8m - 8 + 8= -4 + 8
-8m = 4
D is the only viable answer among these, as A, B, and C all contain two even integers which, by definition, have a greatest common factor of 2.
<em>Correction: </em>I was incorrect in saying that <em>all </em>even integers have a greatest common factor of 2; 2 is at least guaranteed to be <em>one of the common factors </em>in any group of even numbers, but these examples all have it as their <em>greatest </em>common factor as well.
