Can someone help me?

Answer 1

M = -3, hope it was helpful! :)

Answer 2

Answer: m=−3

Step-by-step explanation: −40−2(3m+1/2)=7m−2

−40+(−2)(3m)+(−2)(1/2)=7m+−2

−40+−6m+−1=7m+−2

(−6m)+(−40+−1)=7m−2

−6m+−41=7m−2

−6m−41−7m=7m−2−7m

−13m−41+41=−2+41

−13m/−13=39/−13

m=−3

What mistake I guess Keith did make is he subtracted 2 from -39 which equaled to -37 which caused him divide -37 by 13 when it should have been 39 divided by 13 because he should have left 39 alone and not have subtracted 2 from it also it should not have been negative basically what I'm trying to say is that he did his division and subtraction wrong.
