What is the first step to solve this equation: 5m + 10= 7m + 4A: subtract 5m to both sides B: add 5m to both sides C: divide by 5 to both sides D: multiply by 5 to both sides

Sagot :

We are given the linear equation

[tex]5m+10=7m+4[/tex]

If we subtract 5m to both sides we get

[tex]5m+10-5m=7m+4-5m[/tex]

Simplifying

[tex]10=2m+4[/tex]

which is one step closer to the solution, therefore the answer is A.
