Question

7. What is the solution to-(6m+ 8) = 4(17 - m)?

Answer 1

Answer:

-38

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

$-(6m+8)=4(17-m)$

On the left, distribute. On the right, distribute also. So:

$-6m-8=68-4m$

Add 6m to both sides:

$-8=68+2m$

Subtract 68 from both sides:

$-76=2m$

Divide both sides by 2:

$m=-38$

And we're done!
