Can anyone help me with this. It asks to solve and check your answer.
tankabanditka [31]
\sf 4m-21=3(5m-1)

First, distribute 3 into the parenthesis(multiply it to every term inside):

\sf 4m-21=15m-3

Add 21 to both sides:

\sf 4m=15m+18

Subtract 15m to both sides:

\sf -11m=18

Divide -11 to both sides:

\sf m=-\dfrac{18}{11}

To check our work we can plug this back into the original equation for 'm':

\sf 4m-21=3(5m-1)

\sf 4(-\dfrac{18}{11})-21=3(5(-\dfrac{18}{11})-1)

Multiply:

\sf -\dfrac{72}{11}-21=3(-\dfrac{90}{11}-1)

Distribute 3 into the parenthesis:

\sf -\dfrac{72}{11}-21=-\dfrac{270}{11}-3

Subtract:

\sf -\dfrac{303}{11}=-\dfrac{303}{11}~\checkmark

Both sides are equal to each other, so we solved it correctly.

Square with sides measuring 12 in. What is the perimeter and area?
diamong [38]
48 is the perimeter, all sides in a square are equal, you take 12 * 4 which gives you 48.

For the area, you take two sides, length and width, and you multiply them, 12 * 12, this gives you 144.
