2(m-3)-8=2
Distribute----2m-6-8=2
Combine like terms------2m-14=2
Isolate variable-------2m=16
Divide both sides by coefficient of the variable (2)------m=8
Check:
2(8-3)-8=2
2*5-8=2
10-8=2
Yep :)
Answer:
[tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 2(m - 3) - 8 = 2 \\ = > 2m - 6 - 8 = 2 \\ = > 2m - 14 = 2 \\ = > 2m = 2 + 14 \\ = > 2m = 16 \\ = > m = \frac{16}{2} \\ = > m = 8[/tex]
