Question

Solve the equation and check the solution.
mminus41equalsminus13

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( m - 41 = -13 \), you can follow these steps:

1. Add 41 to both sides of the equation to isolate \( m \):
\[
m - 41 + 41 = -13 + 41
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
m = 28
\]

Now, let's check the solution by substituting \( m = 28 \) back into the original equation:

\[
m - 41 = -13
\]
Substituting \( m \):
\[
28 - 41 = -13
\]
Calculating the left side:
\[
-13 = -13
\]
Since both sides of the equation are equal, the solution \( m = 28 \) is correct.
