For the equation m + 3 = m + 4, can you substitute a value for m to make this a true number sentence? Make sure to explain your answer.
No, it is not possible to substitute a value for m to make the equation m + 3 = m + 4 a true number sentence.
This is because the equation states that adding 3 to m will result in a value equal to adding 4 to m. This is not mathematically possible unless m equals infinity, which is not a specific value that can be substituted in this case.
Regardless of the value of m, adding the same number (in this case, 3) to both sides of the equation will always result in m + 3 being one unit less than m + 4. Therefore, the equation will always be false.
make sure
Apologies for the confusion. I misunderstood your question.
To make the equation m + 3 = m + 4 a true number sentence, we need to find a value for m that satisfies this equation.
If we subtract m from both sides of the equation, we get:
3 = 4
This equation is not true, which means there is no value of m that can make the original equation m + 3 = m + 4 true.
triple check plz
Apologies for the confusion earlier. Let's triple-check the equation m + 3 = m + 4:
To make this equation a true number sentence, we need to find a value for m that satisfies the equation.
We can subtract m from both sides of the equation:
3 = 4
This equation is not true, regardless of the value of m. Therefore, no value of m can make the equation m + 3 = m + 4 a true number sentence.
make sure because, ill get in trouble if i get this wrong
I apologize for the previous incorrect responses. Upon triple-checking the equation m + 3 = m + 4, I can confirm that there is no value of m that can make this equation a true number sentence.
If we subtract m from both sides of the equation, we get:
3 = 4
This equation is not true, regardless of the value of m. Therefore, there is no value of m that can satisfy the equation m + 3 = m + 4.
solve the equation for x
12 + 3x = 6x - 4 (x - 5)
To solve the equation for x, we will simplify and isolate the variable on one side of the equation:
12 + 3x = 6x - 4(x - 5)
First, distribute the -4 to the terms inside the parentheses:
12 + 3x = 6x - 4x + 20
Combine like terms:
12 + 3x = 2x + 20
Next, we want to isolate the variables terms on one side and the constant terms on the other side. Let's move the 2x term to the left side by subtracting 2x from both sides:
12 + 3x - 2x = 2x + 20 - 2x
Simplifying further:
12 + x = 20
Now, we want to isolate the x term. Let's subtract 12 from both sides:
12 + x - 12 = 20 - 12
Simplifying further:
x = 8
Therefore, the solution to the equation 12 + 3x = 6x - 4(x - 5) is x = 8.
