Question

What number makes the expressions equivalent? Enter your answer in the box. 12 (â€""1. 4m 0. 4) = m 0. 2.

Answer 1

The value of "m' that makes the expression equivalent is 0.2584

Given the expression 12 (–1.4m + 0.4) = m + 0.2

We need to solve for the value of m from the expression.

• 12 (–1.4m + 0.4) = m + 0.2

Expand using the distributive law:

12(-1.4m) + 12(0.4) = m +  0.2

16.8m + 4.8 = m + 0.2

Collect the like terms:

-16.8m - m = 0.2 - 4.8

-17.8m = -4.6

m = 4.6/17.8

m = 0.2584

Hence the value of "m' that makes the expression equivalent is 0.2584
