Solve the following equation
2m+42=65
Solve for m
2m + 42 = 65
Divide each side by 2
| 2m | |
| 2 |
| = |
| 42 |
| 2 |
Group constants
Group our constants 42 and 65.
subtract 42 from both sides
2m + 42 - 42 = 65 - 42
Cancel 42 on the left side:
2m = 23
Divide each side of the equation by 2
| 2m | |
| 2 |
| = |
| 23 |
| 2 |
m = 11.5
Final Answer
m = 11.5
