Solve the following equation
20m+100=80+30m
Solve for m
20m + 100 = 80 + 30m
Group variables
Group our variables 20m and 30m
subtract 30m from both sides
20m + 100 - 30m = 30m + 80 - 30m
Cancel 30m on the right side:
-10m + 100 = 80
Divide each side by 20
| 20m | |
| 20 |
| = |
| 100 |
| 20 |
Group constants
Group our constants 100 and 80.
subtract 100 from both sides
-10m + 100 - 100 = 80 - 100
Cancel 100 on the left side:
-10m = -20
Divide each side of the equation by -10
| -10m | |
| -10 |
| = |
| -20 |
| -10 |
m = 2
Final Answer
m = 2
