How do you solve #64= 6( 6- m ) - m#?

Answer 1

Ethan Adkins

#m = -4#

#64 = 6(6 - m) - m#

#64 = (6×6) - 6m - m#

#64 = 36 - 6m - m#

#64 = 36 - 7m#

#7m = 36 - 64#

#7m = -28#

#m = -4#

#m=-4#

#64=6(6-m)-m iff 64=36-6m-m iff 28=-7m iff#

#m=-28/7=-4#

Answer 3

Eli Assouline

To solve (64 = 6(6 - m) - m), first distribute the 6 on the right side:

[64 = 36 - 6m - m]

Combine like terms:

[64 = 36 - 7m]

Subtract 36 from both sides:

[64 - 36 = -7m]

[28 = -7m]

Divide both sides by -7:

[m = -4]

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
