Question

-3 ( -1/3 + m ) + 11 equal to -3 × m + 12

Answer 1

What is m

Answer 2

What is m in this equation

Answer 3

To solve this equation, let's simplify both sides:

Starting with the left side:
-3 ( -1/3 + m ) + 11

Distribute -3 to both terms inside the parentheses:
= -3 * (-1/3) + (-3 * m) + 11
= 1 + (-3m) + 11
= 12 - 3m

Moving on to the right side:
-3 × m + 12

No further simplification required.

Now that we have simplified expressions on both sides of the equation, we can set them equal to each other:
12 - 3m = -3m + 12

Since both sides of the equation are already in terms of -3m and 12, we can conclude that this equation is an identity and true for all values of m.

Answer 4

Since the equation is an identity and true for all values of m, we cannot determine a specific value for m. In other words, m can be any real number.

Answer 5

I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. To find the value of m in the equation, let's solve it step by step:

Starting with the equation:
-3(-1/3 + m) + 11 = -3m + 12

First, distribute -3 to the terms inside the parentheses:
(1/3 - 3m) + 11 = -3m + 12

Next, combine like terms on the left side:
1/3 - 3m + 11 = -3m + 12

Combine the constant terms on the left side:
(1/3 + 11) - 3m = -3m + 12

Simplify the expression on the left side:
(1/3 + 33/3) - 3m = -3m + 12
34/3 - 3m = -3m + 12

To isolate the variable m, let's subtract -3m from both sides:
34/3 - 3m + 3m = -3m + 3m + 12
34/3 = 12

Since the equation is not balanced (34/3 is not equal to 12), there is no solution for m that satisfies this equation.
