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

3 answers

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.

choose one of the answers above

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 \( m = \frac{18}{43} \).
