What is the value of m in the equation 5m − 7 = 6m + 11? ((99) points!! Give me you number? Maybe?)1) 18 2) 1 3) −184) −1
Question
Answer:
[tex]5m-7=6m+11[/tex]We want to isolate "m" on one side of the equation and have a number on the other side. Let's start by subtracting both sides by 5m[tex]5m-7-5m=6m+11-5m[/tex][tex]-7=m+11[/tex]Now, let's subtract both sides by 11[tex]-7-11=m+11-11[/tex][tex]-18=m[/tex]We now have the value of m. The next thing I'm going to do is a bit tedious, but you typically want to have the variable on the left side of the equation in the field of math. It's a good habit to develop now.[tex]m=-18[/tex]Thus, the answer is choice 3, -18. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!~ Padoru
