Answer:
m = 8 Please brainliest!
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
7m + -6m = 8
Combine like terms: 7m + -6m = 1m
1m = 8
Solving
1m = 8
Solving for variable 'm'.
Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.
Divide each side by '1'.
m = 8
Simplifying
m = 8

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>
x - 2y = 12
5x + 3y = -44
<u>Step 2: Rewrite Systems</u>
x - 2y = 12
- [Multiplication Property of Equality] Multiply everything by -5: -5x + 10y = -60
<u>Step 3: Redefine Systems</u>
-5x + 10y = -60
5x + 3y = -44
<u>Step 4: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
<em>Elimination</em>
- Combine 2 equations: 13y = -104
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide 13 on both sides: y = -8
<u>Step 5: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Define original equation: x - 2y = 12
- Substitute in <em>y</em>: x - 2(-8) = 12
- Multiply: x + 16 = 12
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 16 on both sides: x = -4
