Question

2(4m+6)=8m+6
8m+12=8m+6
-6= -6
_________
8m+6= 8m
-8m. =-8m
__________
6=m

I think in doing something wrong just not to sure when I check both sides give me different answer can someone explain please

Answer 1

8m+12=8m+6

8m-8m=6-12

0 does not equal -6, therefore no solution

Answer 2

2(4m + 6) = 8m + 6
8m + 12 = 8m + 6
Note that from here, we can see that there is no solution. The 8m will be cancelled from both sides, and we are left with
12 = 6
which is impossible. Thus, there is no solution, or there is no value of m that can satisfy the equation.

Hope this helps~ :3
