Question

10m+8=7m+17show step by step solving

Answer 1

hello

the question given is an equation and we need to solve for m. let's do this in a step-wise manner

$10m+8=7m+17$

step 1

collect like terms

to do this, we keep coefficient of m in one side and numbers in another side of the equation

$\begin{gathered} 10m+8=7m+17 \\ 10m-7m=17-8 \\ 3m=9 \end{gathered}$

step 2

divide both sides by 3 to solve for m

$\begin{gathered} 3m=9 \\ \frac{3m}{3}=\frac{9}{3} \\ m=3 \end{gathered}$

from the calculations above, the value of m = 3
