If m+2/5=1/2, then which of the following is true? m + 2 = 2

Question

2 m + 2 = 5
m + 4 = 6
2 m + 4 = 5

Answer 1

To solve the equation, we need to isolate m on one side of the equation.

First, we can simplify the left side by multiplying both sides by 5:

5(m + 2/5) = 5(1/2)

This gives us:

m + 2 = 2.5

Now, we want to isolate m by subtracting 2 from both sides:

m = 0.5

Therefore, the answer is not one of the choices given in the question. The correct answer is:

m = 0.5

Answer 2

Unless the poster was sloppy with typing and meant:

(m+2)/5=1/2
m + 2 = 5/2 , then
2m + 4 = 5

which is the last choice.
