Answer:

m = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{15m+3}{2}$ = - 6

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

15m + 3 = - 12 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v-\text{average speed}\\d-\text{distance}\\t-\text{time}\\\\d=vt,\ t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\\bold{Candice:}\ v_C=35\ mph,\ d_C,\ t_C\\\\\bold{Liz}:v_L=50\ mph,\ d_L,\ t_L=t-3\\\\\bold{Equation}:\\\\/\text{the distances are the same}/\\\\d_C=d_L\\\\d_C=v_Ct_C,\ d_L=v_Lt_L\\\\35t_C=50(t_C-3)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\35t_C=50t_C-150\qquad\text{subtract}\ 50t_c\ \text{from both sides}\\\\35t_C-50t_C=50t_C-50t_c-150\\\\-15t_C=-150\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-15)}$
