I need help for question 19 !!!!! I also need to explain my answer.. PLEASEEEEEE

Answer 1

The value of m is 3.

Solution:

Given equation:

6 + 5(m + 1) = 26

To solve the equation:

6 + 5(m + 1) = 26

Multiply 5 into each term inside the bracket.

6 + 5m + 5 = 26

5m + 11 = 26

Subtract 11 on both sides, we get

5m = 15

Divide by 5 on both sides, we get

m = 3

The value of m is 3.

Checking:

6 + 5(m + 1) = 6 + 5(3 + 1)

                    = 6 + 5(4)

                    = 6 + 20

                    = 26

6 + 5(m + 1) = 26.

Hence the solution is correct.
