Question

How do you solve `13+m/4=6`?

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

Step 1) Subtract `color(red)(13)` from each side of the equation to isolate the `m` term while keeping the equation balanced:

`13 + m/4 - color(red)(13) = 6 - color(red)(13)`

`13 - color(red)(13) + m/4 = -7`

`0 + m/4 = -7`

`m/4 = -7`

Step 2) Multiply each side of the equation by `color(red)(4)` to solve for `m` while keeping the equation balanced:

`color(red)(4) xx m/4 = color(red)(4) xx -7`

`cancel(color(red)(4)) xx m/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(4))) = -28`

`m = -28`
