Solve the equation below
-2(m-30)=-6m
A.-15
B.-13
C.-8
D.8
An easy way to check is to plug your answer back in.
So if you think its "B", -2(-13-30)=-6(-13)
This equals -2(-43)=78
Simplify = 86=78
You want both sides to equal each other if you check your answer
ohh ok... so the answer is 15 (A)
Yes
To solve the given equation, we can follow these steps:
1. Distribute the -2 on the left side of the equation:
-2m + 60 = -6m
2. Simplify the equation by combining like terms:
60 = -6m + 2m
60 = -4m
3. Divide both sides of the equation by -4 to isolate the variable:
60 / -4 = -4m / -4
-15 = m
Therefore, the solution to the equation -2(m-30) = -6m is m = -15.
So, the correct answer is option A. -15
