Answer:
m = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
0.1(0.5m + 6) = 2
Reorder the terms:
0.1(6 + 0.5m) = 2
(6 * 0.1 + 0.5m * 0.1) = 2
(0.6 + 0.05m) = 2
Solving
0.6 + 0.05m = 2
Solving for variable 'm'.
Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-0.6' to each side of the equation.
0.6 + -0.6 + 0.05m = 2 + -0.6
Combine like terms: 0.6 + -0.6 = 0.0
0.0 + 0.05m = 2 + -0.6
0.05m = 2 + -0.6
Combine like terms: 2 + -0.6 = 1.4
0.05m = 1.4
Divide each side by '0.05'.
m = 28
Simplifying
m = 28
