Question

-9(m+3) +14=-49 please show work

Answer 1

Answer:

m=4

Step-by-step explanation:

−9(m+3)+14=−49

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−9(m+3)+14=−49

(−9)(m)+(−9)(3)+14=−49(Distribute)

−9m+−27+14=−49

(−9m)+(−27+14)=−49(Combine Like Terms)

−9m+−13=−49

−9m−13=−49

Step 2: Add 13 to both sides.

−9m−13+13=−49+13

−9m=−36

Step 3: Divide both sides by -9.

−9m

−9

=

−36
