Answer:

m = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

2 (m + 7) = -4 - m

2m + 14 = -4 - m

3m + 14 = -4

3m = -18

m = -6

Hopefully this helps!

Answer:

m = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation for m, we multiply out the left side to remove the parentheses:

2m + 14 = -4 - m

Next, we combine like terms: 2m and -m are like terms, as are 14 and -4:

3m = -18

Dividing both sides by 3 yields m = -6

you are assembling desserts with a friend together you can make 12 desserts in 5 minutes. how many can you make in 20 minutes?

Sever21 [200]

You can solve this in two ways.

First way:
Let’s find out how many my friend makes in one minute.
12/5=2.4
He makes 2.4 in one minute. Let’s multiply that by 20 to find what he makes in 20 minutes.
2.4•20=48
My friend made 48 desserts.

Second way:
Let’s make a ratio.
12 desserts:5 minutes
X desserts: 20 minutes
Whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other. Since you are multiplying the minutes by 4, you have to multiply the desserts by 4.
12•4=48

So, my friend made 48 desserts.
Tell me if this helps!!!

Given the equation 5x − 4 = –2(3x + 2), solve for the variable. Explain each step and justify your process.

blagie [28]

A.
$5x-4=-2(3x+2) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{expand the bracket} \\
5x-4=-2 \times 3x-2 \times 2 \\
5x-4=-6x-4 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{add 6x to both sides} \\
11x-4=-4 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{add 4 to both sides} \\
11x=0 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{divide both sides by 11} \\
x=0$

B.
$3(2x-4)=5x-1 \\
6x-12=5x-1 \\
\boxed{11x-12=-1} \Leftarrow \hbox{the first mistake} \\
11x=11 \\
\boxed{x=11} \Leftarrow \hbox{the second mistake}$

Megan's solution isn't correct.
The first mistake: she subtracted 5x from the right-hand side of the equation, but added 5x to the left-hand side.
The second mistake: she divided the right-hand side of the equation by 11, but didn't divide the left-hand side.

The correct solution:
$3(2x-4)=5x-1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{expand the bracket} \\
3 \times 2x+3 \times (-4)=5x-1 \\ 6x-12=5x-1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{subtract 5x from both sides} \\
x-12=-1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\hbox{add 12 to both sides} \\
x=11$
