how do i solve the 2 step equations

45-m/30=165
Answered by Brianna
45-m/30 = 165
*30 *30
-----------
45-m = 4950
-45 -45
-----------
-m = 4905
divide by -1 on both sides

m= -4905
Answered by Brianna
so first you multiply both sides by 30


then you subtract 45 from both sides

and then divide by -1 on both sides

45-m/30 = 165

Multiply both sides by 30

45-m = 4 950

Subtract 45 from both sides

-m = 4905

M cannot be negative so change signs on both sides.



m = -4905

Now if you plug in what m equals you should get 165

45-(-4905)/30=165
Answered by sara
45 - m divided by 30 =165

What don't you get about the explanation?
Answered by sara
it came out 6300 in my caculater
Answered by Chopsticks
One way to check your answer is to plug what m equals into your original equation

(45 - 6300)/30 = 165

That is a false statement.
