4m - 5(3m + 10) = 126

1 answer

To solve this equation, we will first distribute the -5 to the terms inside the parentheses:

4m - 5(3m + 10) = 126

4m - 15m - 50 = 126

Next, combine like terms:

-11m - 50 = 126

To isolate the variable term, we will add 50 to both sides:

-11m = 176

Finally, divide both sides by -11 to solve for m:

m = -16
