QuestionSolve the equation 6+5(m+1)=266+5(m+1)=26 for mm. What is the value of mm?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation to solve is 6+5(m+1)=266+5(m+1)=26 . We are solving for the variable mm

STEP 2

First, we need to distribute the 55 to both mm and 11 inside the parentheses.
6+5(m+1)=6+5m+56+5(m+1)=6+5m+5

STEP 3

implify the equation by combining like terms on the left side of the equation.
6+5+5m=11+5m=266+5+5m=11+5m=26

STEP 4

Now, we need to isolate the variable mm on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 1111 from both sides of the equation.
11+m11=261111+m-11=26-11

STEP 5

implify the equation.
5m=155m=15

STEP 6

Finally, we can solve for mm by dividing both sides of the equation by 55.
m=15/5m=15/5

STEP 7

Calculate the value of mm.
m=15/5=3m=15/5=3The solution is m=3m=3.
