Complete the following stepped out solution to show that -7+[(8×m)×1/8]+7 is equivalent to m?

1 answer

To show that -7+[(8×m)×1/8]+7 is equivalent to m, let's simplify the expression step by step:

1. Distribute the multiplication inside the brackets:
-7 + (8 × m × 1/8) + 7
-7 + (8m × 1/8) + 7

2. Simplify the multiplication:
-7 + (m) + 7

3. Combine like terms:
-7 + 7 + m

4. Simplify:
0 + m

5. Remove the unnecessary zero:
m

Therefore, -7+[(8×m)×1/8]+7 is indeed equivalent to m.
