Solve for m: 2m + 1 = 10/2

Answer:m=2

m = 5

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation:

2*m - (10) = 0

Step by step solution:

Step 1:

Pulling out like terms:

1.1 Pull out like factors:

2m - 10 = 2 • (m - 5)

Equation at the end of step 1:

Step 2:

Equations which are never true:

2.1 Solve : 2 = 0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.2 Solve : m-5 = 0

Add 5 to both sides of the equation:

m = 5

therefore: m = 5
