Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no x in the equation, so I will assume solving for m

Distribute:

3m + 21 = 6m + 12

Subtract 3m and 12

3m = 9

Divide by 3

m = 3

3=m

Distribute 3 to (m+7) and distribute 6 to (m+2)
With that you end up with:
3m + 21 = 6m + 12
Subtract 3m from 6m
21=3m+12
Then subtract 12 from 21
9=3m
Divide by 3 in both sides
3=m
And that’s your answer!

Given

$\begin{gathered} points \\ (0,0)\text{ and }(15,3) \end{gathered}$ SolutionStep 1Find slope $Slope\text{ \lparen M\rparen=}\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ $\begin{gathered} x_1=0 \\ y_1=0 \\ x_2=15 \\ y_2=3 \end{gathered}$

Substitute the given points into the slope formula

$Slope(m)=\frac{3-0}{15-0}=\frac{3}{15}=\frac{1}{5}$ step 2Equation of a line $\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ m=\frac{1}{5} \\ x=0 \\ y=0 \\ \end{gathered}$ $\begin{gathered} 0=0(\frac{1}{3})+b \\ b=0 \end{gathered}$ Step 3 $y=\frac{1}{5}x$ The final answerOption B
