Question

How to solve -13=5(1 4m)-2m?

Answer 1

First, you would multiply: -13 = 70m - 2m. Then, you subtract the like terms, which would be 70m - 2m: -13 = 68m. You are looking for what m is, so you would divide 68 on both sides: m = - 13 / 68. In math, people would usually like fractions more than decimals, but if you are looking for the decimal number, it would be m ≈ - 0.19.
