How do you solve 10-3(m-2)=8

Sagot :

first deal with -3(m-2) and distribute the -3 to get -3m+6
then combine it with the first term which was 10
10-3m+6
add up the like terms
16-3m
now solve
16-3m=8
subtract 16 from both sides
16-16-3m=8-16
-3m=-8
divide by -3
m=8/3

Hey there!

10 - 3(m - 2) = 8

10 - 3(m) - 3(-2) = 8

10 - 3m + 6 = 8

16 - 3m = 8

-3m + 16 = 8

SUBTRACT 16 to BOTH SIDES

-3m + 16 - 16 = 8 + 16

SIMPLIFY IT!
-3m = -8

DIVIDE -3 to BOTH SIDES

-3m/-3 = -8/-3

SIMPLIFY IT!
m = 8/3

m = 2 2/3


Therefore, your answer is:

• m = 8/3

OR

• m = 2 2/3


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
