Question

For what value of the variable will the values of the expression 2m−13 and m+3 be equal?

Answer 1

Answer:

m = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression  2m−13 and m+3.

We have to find value of m for which both the expression are equal.

To find that value we will equate both the expression and solve as given below

2m−13 = m+3

adding  13 on both LHS and RHS

2m−13 + 13 = m+3 + 13

=> 2m = m +16

subtracting m from LHS and RHS

2m - m = m +16 - m

=> m = 16

Thus, value of m will be 16.

to validate this lets put value of m as 16 in both the equation

2m - 13 = 2*16 - 13 = 32-13 = 19

m+3 = 16+3 = 19.

Thus, we see for m = 16 , both expression has equal value which is equal to 19.
