How do you solve 4m + (-1) = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

That question is asking you find the value of m. What you do is, remove the brackets by multiplying + and - out. You will get

4m - 1=2, moving minus 1 to the right hand side, so that you have the 4m on its own side. Minus 1 become positive, if a number cross the equal sign the sign changes.

You will now have

4m = 2 + 1

4m = 3

Diving through with 4 gives

m = 3/4

And that's the answer
