Question

Solve the equation 3(m + 5) = 3 + 3(2m + 2) for m.

Answer 1

Answer:

$m=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3\left(m+5\right)=3+3\left(2m+2\right)$

Expand:

$3m+3\times5=3+3\times2m+3\times2$

$3m+15=3+6m+6$

$3m+15=6m+9$

Subtract 15 from both sides:

$3m+15-15=6m+9-15$

$3m=6m-6$

Subtract 6m from both sides:

$3m-6m=6m-6-6m$

$-3m=-6$

Divide both sides by -3:

$\frac{-3m}{-3}=\frac{-6}{-3}$

$m=2$
