Solve the equation for m. Show your work -40 - 6m + 1 = - 2

Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]\bold{m \ = \ \frac{-37}{6} \ Or \ -6.16666666667}[/tex]

Explanation:

-40 - 6m + 1 = - 2

  • Simplify Both Sides Of The Equation

−40 − 6m + 1 = −2

−40 + −6m + 1 = −2

(−6m) + (−40 + 1) = −2 (Combine Like Terms)

−6m + −39 = −2

= −6m − 39 = −2

  • Add 39 To Both Sides

−6m − 39 + 39 = −2 + 39

−6m = 37

  • Divide Both Sides By -6

-6m / -6 = 37 / -6

  • Simplify

[tex]\bold{m \ = \ \frac{-37}{6} \ Or \ -6.16666666667}[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\sf \boxed{\sf m=-\frac{37}{6}}\:or\:\boxed{\sf m=-6.166} }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\sf -40 - 6m + 1 = - 2[/tex]

➩ Combine like terms:

[tex]\sf -6m-40+1=-2[/tex]

➩ Add numbers:

[tex]\sf -6m-39=-2[/tex]

➩ Add 39 from both sides:

[tex]\sf -6m-39+39=-2+39[/tex]

[tex]\sf -6m=37[/tex]

➩ Divide both sides by -6:

[tex]\sf \cfrac{-6m}{-6}=\cfrac{37}{-6}[/tex]

[tex]\sf m=-\cfrac{37}{6}[/tex]
