Answer:
m = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for the value of the variable of <em>m</em>. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Remember to do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS =
Parenthesis
Exponent (& roots)
Multiplications
Divisions
Addition
Subtraction
.. and is the order of operation.
In this case, first, divide 4 from both sides:
(4(m - 2))/4 = (24)/4
m - 2 = 24/4
m - 2 = 6
Isolate the variable, m. Add 2 to both sides.
m - 2 (+2) = 6 (+2)
m = 6 + 2
m = 8
m = 8 is your answer.
Check. Plug in 8 to m in the equation. Remember to follow PEMDAS when solving:
4(8 - 2) = 24
4(6) = 24
24 = 24 (True).
m = 8 is your answer.
