Answer:
m = 8
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
−88=−3(4m+5)−(1−3m)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−88=−3(4m+5)−(1−3m)
−88=−3(4m+5)+−1(1−3m)(Distribute the Negative Sign)
−88=−3(4m+5)+(−1)(1)+−1(−3m)
−88=−3(4m+5)+−1+3m
−88=(−3)(4m)+(−3)(5)+−1+3m(Distribute)
−88=−12m+−15+−1+3m
−88=(−12m+3m)+(−15+−1)(Combine Like Terms)
−88=−9m+−16
−88=−9m−16
Step 2: Flip the equation.
−9m−16=−88
Step 3: Add 16 to both sides.
−9m−16+16=−88+16
−9m=−72
Step 4: Divide both sides by -9.
−9m/−9 = −72/−9
m=8
