Answer:
m =-6
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for the unknown variable, m, we have to get m by itself. Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation.
-8m-9=39
9 is being subtracted from-8m, so add 9 to both sides. Addition is the opposite of subtraction.
-8m-9+9=39+9
-8m=39+9
-8m=48
-8 and m are being multiplied. Divide both sides by -8, because division is the opposite of multiplication
-8m/-8=48/-8
m=48/-8
m= -6
2 Dewey you can still go to get
A+b=15.25
a+f=72.25, since f=13b
a+13b=72.25 so now we have two equation in two variables...
a+13b=72.25 and a+b=15.25 so we can say:
(a+13b=72.25)-13(a+b=15.25)
a+13b-13a-13b=72.25-198.25
-12a=-126
a=10.5 kg
So Abdul's mass is 10.5 kilograms.
