Question

Combine like terms & solve : 150m - 100m + 48,500 = 51,000 - 200m

Answer 1

Answer: $m=10$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Simplify both sides of the equation: $150m+-100m+48500=51000+-200m$

$(150m+-100m)+(48500)=-200m+51000$ (Combine Like Terms)

$50m+48500=-200m+51000$

2) Add 200m to both sides: $50m+48500+200m=-200m+51000+200m$

$250m+48500=51000$

3) Subtract 48500 from both sides: $250m+48500-48500=51000-48500$

$250m=2500$

4) Divide both sides by 250: $250m/250=2500/250$

Get your answer: $m=10$
