Question

6m + 4 ( -2 + 6 ) = 10 this is the question plz help

Answer 1

For this equation, first evaluate the numerical expression-2 + 6:

6m + 4 (-2 + 6) = 10

Since -2 + 6 is equivalent to 4, we can write:

6m + 4(4) = 10

Then multiply 4 * 4 :

6m + 16 = 10

To solve, subtract 16 from both sides of the equation and then divide by 6:

6m + 16 -16 = 10 - 416

6m = -6

6m/6 = -6/6

m= -1

To verify , substitute this solution in the original equation and see of your solution is valid:

6 * (-1) + 4(-2 + 6) = 6 * (-1) + 4(4) = -6 + 16 OR 10 so your solution of m = -1 is correct.
