Question

What is the value of m?

13m+3−56m=−15

Responses

m=−36
m equals negative 36

m=−27
m equals negative 27

m = 27
m = 27

m = 36

Answer 1

choose one of the answers above

Answer 2

To solve for \( m \) in the equation \( 13m + 3 - 56m = -15 \), we can start by simplifying the left side:

1. Combine like terms:
\[
13m - 56m + 3 = -15
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
-43m + 3 = -15
\]

2. Next, subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the term with \( m \):
\[
-43m = -15 - 3
\]
Which gives:
\[
-43m = -18
\]

3. Now, divide both sides by -43:
\[
m = \frac{-18}{-43}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
m = \frac{18}{43}
\]

None of the given responses match \( m = \frac{18}{43} \). Please check the original equation for any errors or provide the correct options.

Answer 3

Given the options provided and the calculation done earlier, none of them are correct as per the solution method. However, to select one from the given options:

- **m = -36**
- **m = -27**
- **m = 27**
- **m = 36**

Among these, it would be advisable to look for the one that might fit the context of typical answer formats. However, all are incorrect based on the calculation of \( m = \frac{18}{43} \).

If I must select one based purely on the format or number that seems least likely to be correct given that it does not align with what we calculated, I would choose **m = -36** because it diverges most significantly from the computed result.

Again, please note that the actual answer based on calculations is \( m = \frac{18}{43} \).
