Answer 1

8m - 5n + 2m + 6n =Simplifying 8m + -5n + 2m + 6n = 0 Reorder the terms: 8m + 2m + -5n + 6n = 0 Combine like terms: 8m + 2m = 10m 10m + -5n + 6n = 0 Combine like terms: -5n + 6n = 1n 10m + 1n = 0 Solving 10m + 1n = 0 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1n' to each side of the equation. 10m + 1n + -1n = 0 + -1n Combine like terms: 1n + -1n = 0 10m + 0 = 0 + -1n 10m = 0 + -1n Remove the zero: 10m = -1n Divide each side by '10'. m = -0.1n Simplifying m = -0.1n.
