Explain in details the correct solution:
Question m + 15 = –29?
Answer: m + 15 = –29
Add 15 to both sides. m = -44.
Am i correct?
No.
You need to isolate the unknown term. So SUBTRACT 15 from both sides.
Right...i was getting confused from the other questions. Thank you, i will write that down in my notes so i wont forget it.
You're welcome.
Yes, you are correct.
To solve the equation m + 15 = -29, you need to isolate the variable "m" on one side of the equation. Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Start with the original equation: m + 15 = -29.
2. Subtract 15 from both sides of the equation to remove the 15 from the left side: m + 15 - 15 = -29 - 15.
This simplifies to: m = -44.
So the solution to the equation m + 15 = -29 is m = -44.
